About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today I'm excited to have an expert in Additive Manufacturing, joining us to discuss the Certified Specialist Programme in Additive Manufacturing for Home Appliances. Could you please share your experiences with us? GUEST: Absolutely, I've seen firsthand how additive manufacturing is transforming home appliance production, making it more efficient and cost-effective. HOST: That's fascinating! Could you tell us more about the 3D printing technologies that this course focuses on? GUEST: Sure, we cover selective laser melting (SLM) and fused deposition modeling (FDM), which are critical for creating complex geometries and optimizing performance. HOST: I see. And who would benefit most from this programme? GUEST: It's designed for engineering professionals, designers, and manufacturing specialists looking to gain practical skills in process control and quality assurance. HOST: That's quite comprehensive. How do you see the future of additive manufacturing in home appliances? GUEST: The potential is enormous. We're just starting to explore the possibilities, but eventually, we could see mass customization of home appliances, where products are tailored to individual needs. HOST: That sounds exciting! Now, what are some of the challenges faced in this field or while teaching this subject? GUEST: One challenge is the need for a paradigm shift in thinking, as additive manufacturing requires a different approach to design and production. Another is the need for more training in process optimization and material science. HOST: Thank you for sharing those insights. Lastly, could you share any current industry trends relevant to this course? GUEST: Certainly. Sustainability and circular economy are becoming increasingly important, and additive manufacturing can help by reducing waste and enabling closed-loop recycling. HOST: Well, it's been a pleasure having you on the show. Thank you for sharing your experiences and insights about the Certified Specialist Programme in Additive Manufacturing for Home Appliances. GUEST: My pleasure, thank you for having me.
