A Study on the Press Drawing of a Sheet Metal Part with Holes on the Slope

A new stretch-forming process based on discretely loading for three-dimensional sheet metal part is proposed and numerically investigated. The gripping jaw in traditional stretch-forming process is replaced by the discrete array of loading units, and the stretching load is applied at discrete points on the two ends of sheet metal. By controlling the loading trajectory at the each discrete point, an optimal stretch-forming process can be realized. The numerical results on the new stretch-forming process of a saddle-shaped sheet metal part show that the distribution of the deformation on the formed surface of new process is more uniform than that of traditional stretch-forming, and the forming defects can be avoided and better forming quality will be obtained.

Reduced Costs

In an optimization problem, different candidate solutions are compared with each other, and then the best or optimal solution is obtained which means that solution quality is fundamental. Topology optimization is used at the concept stage of design. It deals with the optimal distribution of material within the structure. Altair Inspire software is the industry's most powerful and easy-to-use Generative Design/Topology Optimization and rapid simulation solution for design engineers. In this paper Topology optimization is applied using Altair inspire to optimize the Sheet metal Angle bracket. Different results are conducted the better and final results are fulfilling the goal of the paper which is minimizing the mass of the sheet metal part by 65.9% part and Maximizing the stiffness with Better Results of Von- Miss Stress Analysis, Displacement, and comparison with different load cases. This can lead to reduced costs, development time, material consumption, and product less weight.

Unfolding Method

The unfolding is the first step for the manufacturing of the sheet-metal part, which plays a major role for the accuracy and quality of the final product. Unfortunately, the inefficiency of the traditional drawing-based method made the process boring and sometime confusing. The CAD method made benefit for the designer. By means of the 3D modeling kernel and the mathematic model of unfolding process, the automatic design system of sheet-metal part was developed, in which the models are parametric and in 3D environment.
