R&D Knowledge Sharing Session on ‘Projection of Lines: A Manufacturing Perspective’

The Department of Mechanical Engineering held its monthly Knowledge Sharing Session, under the R&D cell on  January 8, 2022 from 3.30 pm to 4.30 pm. The session was taken by Prof. Sachin Turi on recent trends.

Prof. Sachin Turi presented a technical talk titled ‘Projection of Lines: A Manufacturing Perspective’. He began with an introduction to BIW (Body in White) representation which is how the different parts of a car are represented in a 3D system. He further discussed on the manufacturing setup of car panels that require cams to perform the operations like, punching shearing etc. A case study on this aspect was discussed on the piercing operation performed on sheet metal panels in the Generative Shape Design module of CATIA software. Prof. Sachin also showed how the projection of lines concept are useful towards creating a line inclined in space through an application developed by him. He concluded his talk saying, “A good major work in the automotive and aerospace industry lies in the area of developing required surfaces in CAD softwares for manufacture as everything is done using robotics.”

The session was attended by teaching and technical support staff from the Department of Mechanical Engineering and coordinated by Prof. Harshad Pingulkar and Prof. Pringle Alfonso.
