"Molding the Future of Metal Industries"
A total of 20 beneficiaries of free training proudly received their certificates of training during their graduation held on March 6, 2015 at the Platinum Auditorium, DMSC, MIRDC, Bicutan, Taguig City. The trainee-graduates make up the first batch of the training on Die and Mold Designing and Making under the project “Establishment of a Die and Mold Solution Center in Support of the Components and Parts Manufacturing Industry.”
The project is implemented by the MIRDC under the DOST’s Makinarya at Teknolohiya Para sa Bayan (MakiBayan) initiative. Such training aims to help the participants to be able to identify different types of materials used in the die/mold fabrication, as well as to design, fabricate and repair simple and complex dies and molds using CAD/CAM in accordance with ISO standard. The six-month training covers the following modules:
Part I |
Technical Drawing and Geometrical Dimensioning & Tolerancing |
Part II |
Die Design/Safety, Repairs and Maintenance |
Part III |
Plastic Injection Mold Design |
Part IV |
CAD Design Fundamentals |
Part V |
CAD (Die Design Solution/Simulation) |
Part VI |
CAD (Mold Design Solution/Simulation) |
Part VII |
Heat Treatment |
Part VIII |
Machine Shop Operation |
Part IX |
CNC Turning and Milling |
Part X |
CNC-EDM Wire Cutting |
Part XI |
CNC-EDM Sinking |
Part XII |
CAM/NC Solution (Die/Mold Making) |
Part XIII |
Actual Die/Mold Design, Fabrication, Assembly & Trial Shot by Participants |
At their graduation, the die and mold trainee-graduates showcased their acquired knowledge through their project presentations and expressed their gratefulness to the training in the presence of the MIRDC management together with the project team headed by Engr. Fred P. Liza as well as the officials of the partner support organization, the Philippine Die and Mold Association (PDMA). Engr. Robert O. Dizon, Assistant Secretary of DOST and Officer-in-Charge of the MIRDC, inspired the graduates to apply their learning to contribute to the growth and development in a competitive industry.
