The Handbook received a very positive response as a Technical Manual during the TAGMA Exhibition. Commenting on the occasion, Mr D K Sharma (VP, Godrej Tooling and Member EC, TAGMA) noted “It is the right time to bring a different energy to the market and this Technical Initiative from Prime Industries should not only help the Indian market but establish Prime Industries as an authority on EDM Machining, something the EDM market will welcome openly.”
