Benchmarking

1. The Tooling direction is the direction in which the mold (core - moving and cavity- fixed) opens and closes.  2.  3. A parting line is the line of separation on the plastic part where the two halves of the plastic injection mold meet. The line actually indicates the parting 'plane' that passes through…

BACK DOOR DESIGN Objective: To Design the Back Door/Tail Gate of a car, with its components – Outer Panel, Inner Panel and Reinforcements. Introduction: The Backdoor of a car is a hinged component that allows access to the luggage area of the vehicle. The trunk or boot of a car is the vehicle’s main storage…

Section Modulus Section modulus is a geometric property for a given cross-section used in the design of beams or flexural members. It is the direct measure of the strength of any section. Higher the section modulus of a structure, the more resistive it becomes to bending. The section modulus of the cross-sectional…

To perform the Roof Curvature study and Draft Analysis To perform the Section Inertia Analysis Introduction:  An automobile roof or car top is the portion of…

Wheel Arch Regulations: The wheel arch is the semicircular part positioned above the wheel of a vehicle. The design of wheel arch will be different based on countries and the main goal in designing of fender wheel arch should satisfy the regulation and standards as per the countries. JAPAN REGULATIONS The clearance L is…

FR- FENDER DESIGN Objective: To Design and Develop the Front Fender of a car using NX 12.0. Introduction: Fender is the US English term for the part of an automobile (vehicle body) that frames a wheel well (the fender underside). Its primary purpose is to prevent sand, mud, rocks, liquids, and other road spray from being…

HOOD DESIGN Objective: To Design and Develop the Hood Assembly using NX 12.0. The Hood Assembly consists of the Outer Panel, Inner Panel, Latch Striker and Hinges. Introduction: The Hood is an opening body panel that covers the engine in a front-engine vehicle. The hood is also considered as another type of door in a vehicle…

What is Benchmarking? Benchmarking is a very crucial step in the Vehicle Development Process (VDP). It falls under the Pre-Design and Development stage of the VDP. Benchmarking in the automobile industry involves a structured comparison between similar products, services or processes on same dimensions of performance.…

Underbody Coating and how it protects our car Underbody coating is usually a dense cladding (often based on rubber) applied uniformly to the undercarriage of the automobile. In Indian road conditions, a cars underbody is most prone to corrosion. Underbody coating provides long term protection from corrosion to car’s…

For successfully creating a component that is moldable or in other words that can be manufactured, Draft Analysis of the component should be carried out. What is a Draft? Essentially, draft angles for injection molding are a design consideration that makes it much easier for a part to release cleanly from a mold. A draft…

Screw Boss Design  Bosses find use in many part designs as points for attachment and assembly. The most common variety consists of cylindrical projections with holes designed to receive screws, threaded inserts or other types of fastening hardware. As a rule of thumb, the outside diameter of bosses should remain 2…

Rib Design Ribs provide a means to economical stiffness and strength in molded parts without increasing the overall wall thickness. They also facilitate: Locating and arresting components of an assembly Providing alignment in mating parts Acting as stops or guides for mechanisms Proper Rib Design involves the following…
