Education / Seminars Sponsored by IDA

IDA sponsors at least one major technical session per year, typically in collaboration with a major educational or governmental institution. These conferences are normally 3 day sessions oriented to a specific application area for superabrasives.

IDA's Partnership For Manufacturing Productivity division consists of an alliance of some 20 technical schools and universities around the country. The institutions offer courses from time to time as needed.

Currently under development is the Superabrasives Certification Course. This unique course offers practical, hands-on instruction on how to properly select, setup, and run superabrasive tools and wheels in a broad range of today's industrial applications.
