Diecast parts are used extensively in areas such as Automobile, Aviation, Telecommunication, Hydraulics, and pneumatics application, Electrical and so on. Key Die cast parts are Two-wheeler engine crank cases, cover kick starters, Cylinder head, cylinder barrel, four-wheeler Alloy wheels, ceiling fan covers, 2-wheeler front and rear wheel hub, 2-wheeler carburettor, earth moving equipment hydraulic valves, 4-wheeler air brake parts, to name a few.
Designing the diecast parts with the production process in mind is the key to seeing a return on investment. DFM ensures that the diecast parts perform to specification by removing any inefficiencies before the actual production begins. Reducing weight, optimizing wall thickness, maintaining achievable draft angles and tolerances are some key design aspects that can often help improve the design of the diecast parts. Hence it is important on how well the diecast parts are designed for manufacturability.
Keeping this in mind, IMTMA is conducting a two day program in Design and processing techniques for PDC parts with a DFM approach.
