IMechE-Uniten Student Chapter organized a visit to SIRIM Advanced Manufacturing Technology Centre, Bukit Jalil, Selangor. The person in charge on that day was Dr. Ramesh, the advisor of IMechE-Uniten Sudent Chapter. The visit was strictly for members only and only 40 seats were available.

We arrived at the designated venue at approximately 9.40am. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a warmth welcome by Dr Wan Abdul Rahman, the Program Head of National CAD/CAM Program of SIRIM. We were then ushered to the meeting room where we were given an introduction speech about SIRIM Advanced Manufacturing Technology. We were served with breakfast and given a short break. After the break, we were given few presentation and speeches about SIRIM Advanced Manufacturing Technology.

Basically, SIRIM Advanced Manufacturing Technology Centre provides a wide range of services to the industries through Electronics and Intelligent System Development Programme, Industrial Automation and Robotics Programme and National CAD/CAM Programme. The centre is focusing on the fields of electronics and ICT, industrial automation and robotics together with CAD/CAM/CAE technologies and manufacturing systems. The centre includes Research & Development, Product Development, Design & Prototyping Services, Consultancy & Advisory Services, Technology Support Services and Technology Transfer & Dissemination through technical trainings.

Approximately, an hour later, we were taken on a short tour to the laboratory of SIRIM Advanced Manufacturing Technology Centre. Dr Wan Abdul Rahman was the person in charge. While touring on foot, he explained in detail all the process involved in the laboratory. The tour took about 30 minutes. The session was ended with the souvenir presentation. We departed from SIRIM Advanced Manufacturing Technology Centre at about 12.30pm. The visit was deemed very beneficial as we were able to see various machineries and understand the Advanced Manufacturing Technology of SIRIM.
