Fender Design Challenge
Fender:-
- The fender is the part of the car directly over the wheel well which helps prevent debris and grime kicked up by the wheels from damaging the sides of the car or other nearby vehicles while you drive. The fender also protects the wheels from side impacts and other potential damage.
- Fenders are the curved strut which sits over the wheel well on a car and helps cover the top of the wheel. Most cars have fenders of one type or another to help cover their wheel wells, and these fenders are generally made of the same plastic, metal, or fiberglass material as the rest of the vehicle.

Given data for fender design:-

Fender part model:-
- Actual fender design on NX 12 software by considering 0.75mm thickness of panel. Outer surface is received and imported in NX to create mounting points.
1) Drip area:-

2) A pillar mount area:-

3) Sill area:-

4) Bumper mount area:-

5) Splash cover mount:-

Final design:-




Conclusion:-
- By the help of outer fender surface, we create a mounting as per manufacturing abilities over the given part. from the given master section we designed drip area for fender.
