Fender Design

OBJECTIVE :

The main objective of this project is to design a fender using a new age design software - NX - CAD

DESIGN OF CAR FENDER

Fender is the part of an automobile, motor cycle or other 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 thrown into the air by the rotating tire. Fenders are typically rigid and can be damaged by contact with the road surface.

There are two types of fenders , they are

1) full bumper type

2) half bumber type

Presently we are using the half bumper type , the reason for choosing the half bumper type is that when we choose the full bumper type the blank used for creating it is very large and also has the lot of wastage , but in the case of the half bumper type we have the possibility to reduce the scrap . This is what we called as scrap management

In half bumper type we reduce the usage of the steel material and uses the lots of plastic on the bumper which in term decreases the cars weight and increases the performance

MOUNTING REGIONS ON FENDER

There are 5 mounting regions on the fender , they are

A- pillar mounting

Baffel mounting

Sill mounting

Bumper mounting

Drip mounting

DESIGN PROCEDUCER FOR MOUNTING DESIGN :

CREATE DIP MOUNTING AS PER MASTER SECTION

Bumper Mounting

BAFFEL MOUNTING

SILL MOUNTING

BUMBER MOUNTING

CONCLUSION :

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