Although Fine Blanking existed as a technology that could economically replace multiple machining operations in certain product-segments since the first world war; in India its penetration has been rather limited to manufacturing of items like chain links, sprockets, clutch plates etc. The main reason for this has been lack of Fine Blanking Die Manufacturing and Maintenance capability and lack of knowledge about potential benefits of using this technology. This Technology has matured immensely and over the years it has improved significantly, putting to rest many pre-set notions and apprehensions that may have been restricting it.

In order to present latest update on this lesser known but promising Technology , IMTMA is organising an classroom training on Latest Trends & Applications in Fine Blanking Technology.
