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.

Keeping this in view, Indian Machine Tool Manufacturers' Association (IMTMA) is organising an online training on "Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) in Design through Manufacturing".

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

Mr. Ganapathi K N, is presently working as Advisor at IMTMA, having 16 years of industrial and 14 years of academic experience. He is a mechanical engineer with post graduate in metal casting science and engineering. Prior to IMTMA, Ganapathi has worked at various capacity in manufacturing companies. He has thorough knowledge of Materials, Metallurgy, Metal casting and heat treatment processes. He has carried out many specialised programmes on GD&T, metal casting technologies, Metallurgy and heat treatment for industries. He has also taught these topics to post graduate engineering students. At IMTMA his role is to develop and introduce new programmes for enhancing competitiveness of Industries.
