Mrs. Dossin ASBE Fender design 16 February 2016 ASBE Engineering Challenge the process started with in class brainstorming until it was narrowed down to a few choices. The individual design process started with a basic but aesthetic and functional fender decal. The design serves the purpose of filling the hole in the fender while also being aesthetically pleasing. The design started as a basic sketch and then was transferred to autoCAD. The section views for the injection mold were started after the front and right orthographic views of the fender decal were completed. After completing the section views of the injection, The full assembly of the injection mold was completed. The injection mold is milled out of 7075-T6 aluminium. After fully assembled the mold will be injected with polymer to form the decal. After injection the decal will need to be properly deburred. Then painted with a base layer of matte black paint. The outer lip will need to be painted with a chrome paint overcoat. The logo paint red and chrome. The Decal will be a slip fit within the opening of the fender. It will mount using m7-1.0X15mm bolts. The outer lip of the Fender decal will cover up the the 6mm holes. No service is needed as this peices on function is to cover the hole in the fender and look aesthetically pleasing to the car. 7075-t6 is $253 for stock per mold plus machine time. $490 for metric ton of polymer pellets. $20 a gallon for paint. All work can be completed in house rather than having to outsource because all machinery should be available in house. Machines required are vertical or horizontal mill, injection molding machine and a paint booth. Also the price of operators and workers must be considered into total cost of decal. |
