Fender Design - Wheel Arch Challenge

INTRODUCTION:

Fender is the American English term for the part of an automobile, motorcycle 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.

DESCRIPTION:

In this project as we said we are going to design the front fender mounts.

Front and rear fender

We have two types of fender full and half bumper type in the below image you see that.

Full and half bumper type

So now a days half bumper fender is in use as it reduce the cost of manufacturing of it as compare to full bumper type.

And we have been provided the master sketch for the drip area mounting.

Master sketch

As per the master sketch we are going to design the drip mount and we will follow the design parameters as per industry for the other mounting area too.

And we are going to design the fender in NX CAD.

So first we are going to work on the drip mount which will mounted to the engine compartment
