Across
  1. 3. Radial describes forces or directions that move out from a common center.
  2. 4. Grinding is a method to shape materials that are too hard or misshapen to process with conventional tools.
  3. 5. The process where a drawing is marked up with changes that must be made to a design, the process is called ‘redlining’ as typically a red colored pen is used so that all the changes can be easily seen.
  4. 7. A machining process that removes materials from specific areas on a part using rotary cutters and a wide range of machine tools.
  5. 8. Rotation around a vertical axis that passes through the car’s center of gravity.
  6. 12. The metal portion on the body of the vehicle between the doorsills and the passenger compartment.
  7. 13. Vent located on the side of the vehicle near the fender that is sometime used for hot air outlet by primarily is decorative in today’s designs
  8. 16. A reaction or recoil between parts that do not fit together properly, slop in mechanical system usually in gear that results in parts not fitting together as they should.
  9. 17. The combination of mechanical, computing and electronics when designing and developing a new vehicle.
  10. 18. Outer portions of a vehicle (excluding the chassis) including, fiberglass, metal, etc. that form the outer shell of the vehicle.
  11. 19. An accepted condition or measurement which is accepted as an approximation rather than a measured exact value, a ‘nominal’ value
  12. 20. The horizontal surface of typically the back of the vehicle or the trunk lid.
  13. 24. Machining is the general term for a process of shaping, cutting or changing the physical properties of a material.
  14. 26. Turning is when a material is held between two plates and then the cutting tool is rotated to form the desired shape.
  15. 28. Forces or direction that is applied along the axis. If you picture a wheel on a car, axial would be the direction the axle is running, though the center of the wheel.
  16. 29. Preloading is when a portion of the load a part is designed to bear is applied and then the part is tightened or adjusted so that it is prepared to bear the full load it was designed for.
  17. 30. A machining process that puts holes in a part using a die and punch tooling.
Down
  1. 1. Line from the hood that runs below the bottom edge of the windows and ends at the trunk.
  2. 2. The ability of a material to resist decay, wear and tear during it’s useful life.
  3. 6. A method used to control inventory in automotive manufacturing factories that was developed by the Japanese and provides just in time inventory control.
  4. 9. The wheelbase of a vehicle is the distance between the center of the front and the rear wheels.
  5. 10. The term for the base of the windshield on a vehicle
  6. 11. A machining process that uses a rotating head in a variety of shapes and sizes to cut a hole in a part
  7. 13. Greenhouse refers to the top portion of the cabin of the body of the automobile that is primarily glass/windows.
  8. 14. A lathe is a piece of manufacturing machinery that machines round stock, a lathe is computer controlled and this process is also known as turning.
  9. 15. The numerical value that shows the largest difference in the range of values within a group.
  10. 21. A customer is a person or a company that purchases a product or service
  11. 22. Tooling is custom designed implements that perform a specific job during the assembly process.
  12. 23. A machining milling process for cutting gear teeth, cutting splines, cutting sprockets.
  13. 25. A crease in the sheet metal body that is styling feature for sports or high performance vehicles.
  14. 27. A machining process that creates threads inside a hole in metal, plastic or wood to all a screw to be twisted in.
  15. 31. The structural roof beam located above the windshield or a section of exhaust piping that is attached to the cylinder heads.
