Set of Stamping Dies or Press Tools forms a vital, costly and time consuming element in the entire sheet part manufacturing process chain. Die Design defines the product quality, operating economics and productivity of mass manufacturing organization. Not only Stamping Die Design is being inadequately covered in most academic curricula; the coverage is too simplistic, academic and focused on specific CAD tool, making it largely a desktop event. It is generally not possible to cover the practical industrial part complexity, desired quality level and performance requirements.

Keeping this in view, IMTMA is organising a training program on Design of stamping dies for sheet metal parts.

This program will be conducted by Mr. Pravin Deore and Mr. Avinash Khare.

Mr. Pravin Deore has completed his MS from Warwik University, UK. He has more than 23 years of experience in press tool industry, which includes 17 years in press tool design and rest is in manufacturing & try-out. He has worked with Mahindra & Mahindra for 13 years at the position of Deputy Manager Design. At Godrej Tooling, he is working as Head of Press Tool Engineering. During his tenure of 9 years, Godrej Tooling has successfully included HSS parts & Skin parts into their portfolio
