EPF is dedicated to providing a unique platform for sharing of best practices and excellence in EDM Machining. Industry experts like Mr Stephen Harris from MWI, USA having an experience of over 25 Years in EDM and Mr N Konishi from TOKAI Carbon made Technical Presentations on the EDM process. Mr Sadananda Koppalkar (Head- Business Development) from Makino India Pvt Ltd used the platform to share inputs on how to improve the productivity on EDM Machines. Mr Vageesh Muthya (Director - TAGMA) made a Presentation informing Tool Rooms about the proposed TCET being set up by TAGMA in Pune currently.

Presenters included Larsen and Tubro (Ahmednagar), Videocon industries Ltd (Tool Room), Indo-German Tool Room Aurangabad and Varroc Polymers Pvt Ltd (Tool Room), Aurangabad.

The most awaited part of the event was the first ever Benchmarking study done by Prime Industries amongst its clients across 4 cities. Over 35 clients participated enthusiastically in this study to compete with the best and winners were chosen in areas of best MRR, lowest wear and best Surface Finish achieved on EDM. The findings of the Benchmarking study were shared with the present clients and the awardees included Mutual industries, Vasai, Godrej and Boyce (Tool Room), Mumbai and Renata Precision, Pune.
