Fender Design
#6 FENDER DESIGN
OBJECTIVE:
The objective of this project is to design the BIW(Body in white) of front fender using the fender
skin data and master section as the into data by using NX CAD.
FENDER DESIGN:
Fender is the american english term for the part of an automobile, motorcycle or other vehicle body
that frames a wheel well. Its primary propose is to prevent sand, rocks, mud, liquids, and other road spray from
being thrown into the air by the rotating tire. Fender are typically rigid and can be damaged by contact with the
road surface.
Fender is classificed front fender and rear fender. we are studied and design at Front Fender
Sticly materials, such as mud, may adhere to the smooth outer tire surface, while smooth loose objects, such
as stones, can be become temporarily embedded in the tread grooves as the tire rolls over the ground.
These materials can be ejected from the surface of the tire at high velocity as the tire imparts kinetic energy to
the attached objects. For a vehicle moving forward, the top of the trie is rotating upward and forward, and can
throw objects into the air at other vehicle or pedestrians in front of the vehicle. Fender is a front outer side
member of a car, which covers the wheel side.
Front Fender as classified in to two type
* Full bumper type
* Half bumper type
Full Bumper Type :
This type of bumper is not commonly used because this design is more scrap producing one during manufacturing.
The blank of steel or aluminum usedto produce this type has more wastages. This type is not economically
good to manufacture.
Half Bumper type :
This types of fenders most commonly used. The con's of full bumper type is satisfied in this design, and the blank
area of wastage while producing the part is drastically reduced by scrap management.
MOUNTED AREAS
Fender was mounted as following areas,
1. A-Pillar
2. Bumper
3. Sill
4. Baffle(Splash)
5. Drip
CHALLANGE:
For the Sill, Bumper, Baffle(Splash), and A-Pillar mount create your own design according to
the Engineering standard that you learned.
Follow the given Master section to create the Drip Area
DART:
which is used to strengthen the Fender mounting areas.

CONCLUSION :
Finally design of fender is done with the help of NX-CAD software by following the given master section.
