Siemens NX Modeling: Stop Short of Corner & Corner Setback

This expert exercise takes a closer look at two advanced options of the Edge Blend command: Stop Short of Corner and Corner Setback. Using a simple test part, you will first learn how to limit a fillet before it reaches a corner, either by dragging the endpoint or defining it precisely with Arc Length, Percent Arc Length, or a Through Point on a reference plane. You will then use Corner Setback to soften the tip where several fillets meet, controlling the transition individually in each direction – on interior and exterior edges, and even between fillets of different radii. In the practical part, you will combine both options to build a deep-drawing punch with a rounded tip: soft corners that reduce cracking in the sheet metal and cut production costs.
