This project aims to design a sheet metal panel for a car's backdoor using provided skin data while adhering to design rules and guidelines. The backdoor serves various functions, including rear coverage, visibility, and storage. The design process involves selecting the backdoor type (top-mounted, side-mounted, or bottom-mounted), choosing materials (steel or aluminum), and creating components like outer and inner panels, hinges, and reinforcements. The design is based on factors like rear visibility, sealing, structural support, crash regulations, and joining techniques. The outcome is a well-designed backdoor assembly that considers both functionality and aesthetics.
