The automotive industry uses a large number of Dies to produce sheet metal parts for an automobile body shell. Hence it is important for Part and manufacturing process designers and planners to understand the entire process of Die design, Die Design standards, and best practices to ensure sustained Defect Free Production of Parts, while meeting the economy and timeliness targets. A well planned Die Design & Die engineering process is detrimental on the product quality, operating economics and sheet metal part productivity in a mass manufacturing organization. Keeping this in mind, IMTMA is organizing a training program on Die design & Die engineering.
