To manufacture an engineering component, we need to prepare the manufacturing drawing with assigning tolerances, which includes controlling of size, shape and surface texture. Understanding of Limits, fits and Tolerance will control the size limit, GD&T controls the shape and study of surface roughness will help to choose the right machining.

Engineering design and Engineering drawing are incomplete without assigning tolerances. Tolerancing is an important and essential element in product manufacturing for both functional and interchangeability.

Understand the role of GD&T in reduction of manufacturing cost and lead time as well as enhanced product reliability. Thorough knowledge in GD&T – the essential link, connecting the functional departments in the manufacturing industry – is a must for engineers.

Keeping this in view, Indian Machine Tool Manufacturers' Association (IMTMA) is organizing a 5-day Hands-on training on "Interpretation of Manufacturing Drawing and Measurements".

This programme will benefit Machine shop engineers, technicians as well as fresh engineers aspiring to learn VMC programming and operation. A Basic knowledge on machining operations is essential.

This program will be conducted by Mr. Preetham B M

Mr. Preetham B M is having over 24 years of experience in the industry, in the field of manufacturing of precision components for Nuclear, Aerospace & Automation industry. He has acquired expertise in the application and use of GD&T principles in precision manufacturing of components as well as experience in conducting training programs. He has imparted training in CNC, CAD/CAM, CMM & GD&T for more than 1500 engineers. Has conducted more than 30 batch of Finishing school. Trained industry professionals from TVS, Ceratizit India, Ashok Leyland, Kennametal etc. Prior to working at IMTMA, he has worked at Avasarala Technologies Limited, as Assistant Manager, in the field of machining the precision components using CNC machines. Components manufactured for prestigious projects like Centre for Advanced Technology (BIGBANG test), ITER which is expected to be operational in the year 2030 at France. He was deputed to M/s Kimberly Clark Corporation's KIMTECH plant at Neenah, Wisconsin state, United States of America for one year to understand their best manufacturing practices. At IMTMA, as Assistant Director, his role is to impart hands-on training for manufacturing professionals.
