How to Create an iPhone 4 Using NX9 Unigraphics

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Start this project in millimeters.

   Then create a rectangle that is a
   115.15 mm (millimeters) length by
   58.55 mm width, the width should be horizontal and on the X axis line with the length going vertically upward.
   
   Be careful to make sure that the middle of the rectangle is the Y axis so it should be
   29.3 mm from the Y axis to each parallel side of the rectangle. ,, The new rectangle should be
   0.6 mm inside the first rectangle. , The shape that you are creating should start to look like the base of the iPhone
   4. , Then unite the two halves. , There should be no corners after using edge blend. , Make two circles with a diameter of
   4.80 mm, on the widest part of the face and place the first circle
   24.63 mm away from the top edge of the phone.
   
   Next, place the second circle
   10.29 mm below the first circle, make sure both circles are
   4.67 mm from farthest the side edge of the phone. ,, Next, place the furthest side of the rectangle
   19.44 mm away from the right edge of the phone. (The button should be placed 3 mm width by
   10.1 mm length and the middle of the button
   1.5 mm from the blue sketch line that separates the two halves of the phone.) , Then, make all four corners of this rectangle a
   1.5 mm radius. ,,, Your model should look like this.
