The Challenge

Progressive die design and manufacturing knowledge is very critical to the Hong Kong manufacturers as they are shifting to produce high precision metal products from conventional metal parts. Industries like electronics, watches, metal products, automotive parts have the strongest demand for skilled engineers.

The Solution
PTTDC has been providing training in this field using 2D design and drafting approaches for many years. Until recently, Mr. K.T. Yeung, Centre Manager, and his staff team made a decision to introduce brand-new concept of applying 3D approach to handle progressive die design. The overall reaction from the trainees was overwhelming. Mr. Yeung stated, “In a much shorter time frame, we can really teach the trainees a complete progressive die design concept. They may finish a virtual progressive die design process in the SOLIDWORKS environment. We can hardly achieve the result if we keep on using the conventional 2D approach to teach the young engineers to pick up the skill set of progressive die design.” Being one of the largest 3DQuickPress training facilities in Asia, PTTDC is going to conduct training to Hong Kong manufacturers from fall, 2005.
