Hood design-Week 2

HOOD ASSEMBLY

TOOLING AXIS

FOR MAKING TOOLING AXIS TAKE THE EXTERIOR POINTS OF THE SURFACE AND FORM A LINE, MAKE A PERPENDICULAR LINE FROM THE MID-POINT OF PREVIOUS LINE.

FLANGES

BLENDS

WHILE GIVING FACE BLEND IN THE FLANGES THIS SURFACE WAS SHOWING ERROR AFTER GIVING RADIUS OF 15MM, SO I PROVIDED THE RADIUS OF 14MM.

EMBOSS SKETCH

EMBOSS

The word emboss means to create a raised surface from pressure or heat and embossing is the process of creating raised surfaces in materials by applying pressure.

MASTIC CUTOUT

HINGE ASSEMBLY

Latch Trajectory

STRIKER ASSEMBLY

HERE BECAUSE OF LESS SPACE FOR MAKING EMBOSS, EXTENTION OF SHEET IS REDUCED TO 1MM. SO IT IS 7MM.

ANGLE OF DRAFT IN LAW EXTENTION IS DONE 10 DEGREE, REDUCED TO 2 DEGREE. AS MINIMUM DRAFT CAN BE 7 DEGREE.

LOWER BLEND IS REDUCED TO 1MM AND PROVIDED 5MM, AS IT CAN BE UPTO 3+THICKNESS OF SHEET HERE WHICH IS 3.75MM .

OUTER PANEL

HEMMING

Hemming is a sheet metal forming process in which sheets are joined by bending it to 180°. Automotive body panels and automotive parts such as deck-lids, trunk-lids, doors, hoods and tailgates are formed by hemming process.
