ABSTRACT

In practical manufacturing practice, the sequence of operations is shown in Figure 9.2a.

However, in CAD, the sequence can be followed in reverse manner, as shown in Figure 9.2b.

Hands-On Exercise, Example 9.1: Creating a Punch Form (Software Used: Creo Parametric)

PUNCH FORM

Punch form is a very effective sheet metal operation in CAD to produce repetitive operation in various parts in comparatively lesser time. A simple example of using punch form, as illustrated in Figure 9.10, is shown in this example.
