Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) system eliminates ambiguities in engineering drawings and brings out the designer's intent very clearly. It ensures seamless communication between design, engineering, manufacturing and quality teams across the entire organization enabling them to work in a concurrent engineering environment. Application of GD&T system helps to reduce the manufacturing and inspection costs drastically.

This programme will focus on understanding the system of GD & T and the methods of applying it in real time designs.

This programme will be a Mid Level one and participants are expected to have knowledge of Engineering Drawing as a pre requisite.

This programme will benefit Managers, Engineers and Supervisory Personnel involved in the functions of Product Design, Process Planning, Production, and Quality Assurance from Machine Tool, Automobile & auto ancillaries, Tool Rooms, Consumer Durables, Aerospace, Defence & Railway establishments, General Engineering and other Capital goods manufacturing industries. Participants are encouraged to bring their drawings for discussion and problem solving.

This program will be conducted by Mr. Ganapathi K. N

Mr. Ganapathi K. N. is currently associated with IMTMA as a faculty member, following his retirement from his full-time role at the organisation. He brings with him over 32 years of rich experience, including 16 years in the industry and 16 years in academics and training.

A postgraduate in Metal Casting Science and Engineering from UVCE, Bengaluru, Mr. Ganapathi has held various positions in both ferrous and non-ferrous foundries prior to joining IMTMA. He possesses in-depth knowledge of foundry operations and has successfully provided practical solutions to a wide range of foundry-related challenges.

During his career, he has delivered specialized training programs in the metal casting domain to more than 300 engineers from various manufacturing organizations across India.
