Plastic parts are found in a wide range of products such as Automobiles, Electronics, Consumer goods, Aerospace and many other products.

Plastic parts can be manufactured in extremely high volumes depending on their usage and there are different types of processing techniques to meet such requirements. Hence a plastic part designer has to keep in mind operational and manufacturing considerations while designing plastic parts. Knowledge of different material formulations alongwith efficient processing techniques helps designers to design plastic parts to meet functional and aesthetic requirements.

Keeping this in view, Indian Machine Tool Manufacturers' Association (IMTMA) is organizing a 2 days online programme on Strategies for Design and Processing of Plastic Parts.

This programme will be conducted by Mr. P V Dhanadan & Mr. Joseph Abraham.
