The course is suited for beginners as well as experienced professionals with no prior or minimal GD&T experience, who are looking to get an in-depth knowledge and grip on best practices in GD&T and the ASMEY14.5M-2009 standard, OR are aiming for ASME GDTP Technologist Certification.

At the end of this course the participants will also attempt a mock test based on ASME GDTP - "Body of Knowledge" Guide to prepare individuals for ASME GDTP-Technologist certification exam. The answer Key will also be provided to all participants after completion of Mock test, for self-evaluation.

This Program will be conducted by Mr. M. Krishnamoorthy.

M. Krishnamoorthy, is the Senior Director of IMTMA Technology Centre and an authorized training instructor with ASME, NY for delivering accredited ASME GD&T Trainings. He has undergone advanced training in GD&T from ASME at Seattle, USA. He is a certified ASME GDTP Senior Professional after successful completion of Senior Level GDTP certification examination by ASME, USA.

For over 28 years of his continued engineering practice in the industry, he has acquired astute expertise in the application and use of GD&T principles in CAD/CAM, high precision CNC machining as well as conducting Technical Trainings. He has imparted specialized training in GD&T for more than 500 engineers across manufacturing companies in India and assisted them in implementing GD&T in design through manufacturing. He is a post graduate in Production Engineering from PSG College of Technology, Coimbatore. Prior to working at IMTMA,

Mr. Krishnamoorthy has worked at ISRO Satellite Centre, Bangalore in the field of Precision Machining of satellite on –board components . After ISRO, he was with Perfect Moulds and UMS technologies as a specialist in Tool Planning and Production and Technical Training in CAD/CAM/CAE, respectively. At IMTMA, his role is to develop and introduce new programs for enhancing competitiveness of industry.

Wonderful initiative. Beautifully covered the topic and in depth explanation. IMTMA can co-ordinate with universities to bring GD&T as part of academia. - Sushruth Kallimath, Lead Engineer, Aerostructures Manufacturing India Pvt. Ltd.
