Fender Design Challenge
Fender Design
Aim:-
The objectives of this project is to design a fender using the given skin in NX 12 software
Given master Diagram:-
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:-
- Half Fender type
- Full Fender Type
Full Fender Half Fender
Construction:-
In order to fix the fender Mountings are essential in our design we classified the mounting in 5 areas
- A Pillar Mounting
- Bumper Mounting
- Drip Area mounting
- Baffel Mounting
- Sill Mounting
1.A Pillar Mounting
Definitiion
- Either one of two support posts that are positioned on either side of the windshield of a vehicle and connect the roof to the body
- This emboss connected to A Pillar.
2.Bumper Mounting
Definitiion
- a device for absorbing shock or preventing damage
- This emboss connected to Bumper.
3.Drip Area mounting
4.Baffel Mounting
5.Sill Mounting
Overall model of fender:-
For addition STP file is Attached
Note:
For my convinient the thickness is about 0.35mm
Conclusion:-
- We designed the Front Fender in NX12 application with proper mountings by using the Master Sketch and Design Parameters.
