Learn Progressive Die Design In Nx From Scratch

A comprehensive approach towards die design for a beginner and pro alike.

What you'll learn

Design a progressive die.

Validate the tool through tooling motion simulation and static interference check.

Export the BOM and present the quote to the customer.

Understand the material science behind die materials.

Requirements

A mechanical engineering graduate or a diploma holder.

Description

The basic objective behind designing this course the way it is lies in the fact that mechanical engineering graduates are merely falling apart as placeholders in the manufacturing industry, and eventually end up pursuing a career avenue in other fields like IT, AI, etc. This can be partly attributed to the fact that these students don't have the necessary acumen or pre-requisite for pursuing a job in mechanical engineering and sustaining themselves, and partly because fields like IT, and AI are outpacing the other conventional pursuits in growth. Progressive Die Design is an evergreen career opportunity that caters to the needs of the mechanical, electronic, automotive, and aerospace industries, among others. This course has been curated to fulfill the expectations of someone who is a layman in this field to someone who already has some experience going forward. Each section has been strategically designed to cover every aspect of die design from creation, assembly, and simulation to validation. The instructor can certainly vouch for the fact that whosoever enrolls in this course will get value for his money. Rest assured, the course has enough content to make the students tailor-made in this field. Additionally, the instructor aspires to continuously add more content as the scope of learning is always endless. Enjoy the course!
