Fender Design
FENDER DESIGN
INTRODUCTION :
Design of any product starts from an requirement . The design engineer sketches the product based on the the requirement . Then the 2D sketch with the proper dimensions is converted into the 3D model using the advanced CAD software's . The another important thing in the design is that , every product that is designed should be able to manufactured . so the role of the design engineer is to design the product that can be easily manufactured and with less cost effective . This is the place where the Design for manufacturing [DFM] and Design of assembly [DFA] takes a role while developing any product . The process of development of design carries on until the design satisfies the customer needs .Here in this project the product that we are going to develop is a car fender.
FENDER :
The main purpose of the fender is to prevent sand,mud, rocks,liquids and another road spray from being thrown into the air by the rotating tire .
TYPES OF FENDERS :
There are two types of fenders , they are
1) full bumper type
2) half bumber type
Mounting regions of fender:
There are 5 mounting regions on the fender , they are
- A- pillar mounting
- Body mounting
- Sill mounting
- Bumper mounting
- Drip mounting
GIVEN DATA :
Final Model:
DRIP AREA:
SILL AERA:
BUMPER MOUNTING AERA:
A - PILLAR MOUNTING AREA:
BAFFLE MOUNTING AREA:
APPLYING OF THICKNESS TO THE SURFACE .
The thickness of 0.75 mm inward on the final sewed surface of the fender to the sheet metal parameters.
CONCLUSION :
Finally design of fender is done with the help of NX-CAD software by following the master section.
