FENDER -

Fender is the American English term for the part of an automobile, motorcycle or other vehicle body that frames a wheel well. 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. A fender is the part of a car that protects and frames its wheels and keeps mud from splashing it.

TYPES OF FENDER -

1. Full Bumper type - In thsi type of Fender, the Fender covers the full bumper.

2. Half Bumper type - In this type the Fender covers half the bumper.

PROCEDURE -

1. As input we received class A surafce, we checked the surfaces and proceeded.

2. We removed the extra flanges and make some posiible cut outs using curve on surface commands.

3. Now we start making mountings sections. The first mounting we created is Drip area Mounting. we extended the surafce using Law extension then created emboss on it. We also created Drip area with the help of drawing.

4. After creating the Drip mounting, we created Sill mounting. In this we extended the surafce using law extension then draw sketch and emboss it. In this ,ounting we also created stress releif area here so that the stress wont accumluated at certain points.

5. Now we created the Bumper Mounting by extending the suraface and making emboss on it. we also smoothen the edges of mounting using Bridge curve.

6. We created the Baffle mounting. In Baffle mounting we simply extended the surafce made the sketch and then trim the sheet. here we nor added the emboss.

7. Lastly we created the A-Pillar mounting. In this we extended the surafce created the sketch and made the emboss and then done the trim sheet for hole.
