About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to today's episode, where we have the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Mathew Simmons, an expert in Material Science and 3D Printed Structures. Dr. Simmons will be sharing his insights about the Executive Certificate course on this topic. Dr. Simmons, welcome to the show! GUEST: Thanks for having me, [host's name]. I'm excited to discuss the course and share some thoughts on the world of 3D printed structures. HOST: You've been working in this field for more than a decade. Can you share what initially drew you to Material Science and 3D Printing? GUEST: Absolutely! I was always fascinated by the potential of 3D printing, even from its early days. Material Science was a natural interest, as understanding the materials we use in additive manufacturing is crucial to optimizing structure and performance. HOST: That's a great point. And speaking of optimization, what are some common challenges faced when selecting materials and processing techniques for 3D printing? GUEST: Material selection can be tricky as different materials have unique properties and printability. Processing techniques also vary, and selecting the right one for a specific material is crucial for optimal performance. HOST: Current trends show a growing interest in sustainable manufacturing. How does this affect 3D printing and the materials used in this field? GUEST: Sustainability is a hot topic in 3D printing. We're seeing increased interest in using eco-friendly materials, such as biodegradable filaments, recycled plastics, and even metal alloys with lower environmental impact. HOST: It's fascinating to see how the industry adapts. Looking to the future, what do you envision for the role of Material Science in 3D Printing? GUEST: I foresee an even closer relationship between Material Science and 3D Printing, with more focus on smart materials, nanomaterials, and customized alloys. This will open up new possibilities in terms of mechanical properties and applications. HOST: Dr. Simmons, thank you so much for the insights. I'm sure our audience has gained a lot from your expertise. Before we wrap up, where can our listeners learn more about the Executive Certificate program you're involved with?
