IMTMA TRAINING INITIATIVE

DESIGN SERIES

Fundamentals of Press Tool Design

Date : 21 - 22 November 2013

@ Bangalore

Almost all exterior parts of modern automobiles are made of pressed sheet metal parts (except bumpers). The strength,
formability, paintability, durability and cost make sheet metal the most preferred material of choice for automobiles as
well as other applications including white goods and host of other products. Sheet metal press tools involving cutting,
bending, forming and drawing operations form the basis for manufacturing such parts. Therefore Tool design and
manufacture is highly crucial for producing consistent quality sheet metal parts.
Keeping this in view, Indian Machine Tool Manufacturers' Association (IMTMA) is organising 2 day programme on
Fundamentals of Press Tool Design on 21 - 22 November 2013 at Bangalore. This training programme is intended for
tool designers who want to deepen their understanding and also for sheet metal part designers to acquire more
knowledge about how the material is made to behave under a press tool.
