Fender Design Challenge

A fender is used to prevent splashing of mud from the wheels and it is located over the wheel of the car i.e. two in the front right and left, and two in the rear right and left of your vehicle as shown in Figure

Generally, the fender is classified into Full and half fender. Full fender is used in old cars, the main disadvantage of the full fender is material cost will be high and manufacturing costs also high. In the case of half fender wastage of material is reduced

Fender was integrated with mounting likes Bumper, drip, pillar, sill, and clow

Design standards

• Dart is used for strengthening and to avoid vibrations
• Face blends and edge blends are used for easy manufactures
