What you will learn

How to design effectively with sheet metal

Guidelines to be followed when designing for sheet metal

Understand the principles at play behind the factors considered in design

How Material properties affect the Part quality and design considerations

Designing simple sheet metal brackets using Fusion 360

Why take this course?

Sheet metal design is an important skill in industry today and will be in the future. Due to its versatility designing with sheet metal finds applications in almost all major industries where physical products are manufactured

This course covers the essential basic theoretical and practical knowledge required for Designing Sheet metal parts aimed at Design engineers who are designing products

The common processes
Materials and the properties which matter for design
What is anisotropy
Comparison between hardness, toughness and strength
What happens to the Material when it is formed or Bent?
The Theory behind Forming and Bending
Form-ability and Bend-ability of metal sheets and what factors affect them
- What are underlying principles which make a metal formable?
Forming limit diagrams and how they are created
Bending Parameters in design
Bending direction and its affect on quality
K factor, Neutral axis, Bend allowance
The concept of Spring-back and ways to reduce it
What is wrinkling and why does it occur?
Deep drawing process and Practice
Rolling, hydroforming, Stretch forming
Joining processes and their comparison
Equipment used to perform operations
Design Guidelines to create cost- effective designs which are suitable for manufacturing.
Design projects with considerations

So if you are a student exploring the world of product design or a design engineer who wants to make products with sheet metal then this courses will be a good value addition.

The course is designed with short to the point explanations with focus on right understanding towards thoughtful design.

If the PPT or the notes could be provided the resources it would have been more helpful for future reference

Too slow for qualified engineers at the start. Some useful points that are relevant and not common knowledge for graduates.

It was a nice training about Sheet Metal Design but it includes many detailed theoretical knowledge, which might not be practical for professionals. It can be combined with many industrial applications and examples from real world in order to make it more practical. Also in my opinion, it should be optional to have the sheet metal design workspace detail in Fusion 360.

Interesting but mixing too many formulas will very little real life examples. I was expecting much more imagry showing the limits of actual products being deformed or processed with errors on bending and flanging. this mix makes it very difficult to understand what is the correct way to design the flanging. it just states that the bandings have some limitations, but not what happens if we try to design outside the safe zone.

Some video quality is not good Only Engineering book and Drafting content not Practical manufacturing approach. Not for professionals

The version of Fusion 360 used in this course is very old and I was hoping the course would use the inbuilt sheet metal tools which has been available for some time. Otherwise, the mechanical design aspects were thorough and informative.

Very useful information for understanding the fondermentals of sheet metal. However, delevery method and exercises can be improved to allow more engagement with the study. The most part of the course felt very scripted

to much basics discussed instead of coming to the points which are essential for this presentation like sheet metals hardest and its internal working phase. how it is different from other software's; comparative analysis to understand better.

So far the lessons are being really helpful and informative. I'm learning a lot and the explanations are good using the pictures. English is not my first language, therefore I use subtitles to aid my listening. The subtitles help a lot but they are not perfect. As an improvement, maybe videos or 3D simulations would help visualize the process of the operations done to sheet metal.

He doesn't explain the design considerations well. It seems that he is reading from somewhere the visual indication is terrible. It is YouTube level free course not a Paid Udemy course.

overall the course is good but i was wanting some of numerical design portion and examples tackling the numerical section of design

Very good collection of information for sheet metal design. Nice presentation. Information about Laser cutting can be included which is widely used.

I was expecting to have more design guide lines / limitations inputs.. like how to know how deep a stamping can be, minimum radius, bending limits and so on.. design a part in CAD is easy, it does no mean it will be possible to stamp it...

Covers very well the basics. English accent choppy and sometimes hard to understand. The way parts are quoted in CAD exemples are not explained and doesnt seems to follow functionnality. All in all a good refresh. Would recommand.

Some very interesting concepts learned, maybe some more videos or actual pictures would be a plus to add
