P-15 The Design of a Thermoplastic Enclosure for an OBD-II Reader
Abstract
An enclosure is required for the complete design of an OBD-II (On-Board Diagnostics) system, to be mounted on the dashboard of a car. To meet design specifications, this enclosure must house the electronic components of the system, as well as pass safety requirements. Such a design was created through design software, SOLIDWORKS, and tested by Finite Element Analysis for critical points of deflection using an estimated load that simulates a car accident. The design was then prototyped through 3D printing and physically tested on the deflection points by a load impact test. This design can therefore be passed for assembly.
