About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to the show, and today we're talking about the Certified Specialist Programme in Sustainable 3D Printing Solutions. I'm thrilled to have our guest, an expert in this field, join us. Can you tell us a little bit about what drew you to sustainable 3D printing? GUEST: Of course! I've always been passionate about sustainability, and when I saw the potential for 3D printing to reduce waste and lower emissions, I knew I had to be a part of it. HOST: Fascinating! How do bioplastics and recycled materials play a role in eco-friendly 3D printing? GUEST: Bioplastics and recycled materials are crucial in sustainable 3D printing. They allow us to create products using renewable or already-used resources, reducing the demand for new raw materials and minimizing waste. HOST: That's impressive. Now, I'm curious, what are some challenges you've faced or seen in implementing sustainable practices in 3D printing? GUEST: One major challenge is educating the industry about the benefits of sustainable methods and materials. There's still a lot of misinformation and resistance to change, but we're making progress. HOST: It's great to hear that progress is being made. Now, let's look to the future. How do you see the role of life cycle assessment and sustainable design in additive manufacturing evolving? GUEST: Life cycle assessment and sustainable design will become even more critical as industries adopt 3D printing. Companies will need professionals who can analyze the entire production process and create eco-friendly designs, ensuring a sustainable future for additive manufacturing. HOST: That sounds like an exciting time for the industry and for those looking to advance their careers through the Certified Specialist Programme in Sustainable 3D Printing Solutions.
