About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today I'm thrilled to have Dr. Jane Smith with us, an expert in 3D printing and sustainable urban planning. She's here to talk about an exciting new course, the Postgraduate Certificate in 3D Printing for Sustainable Urban Planning. Dr. Smith, can you tell us what inspired this course? GUEST: Absolutely, it's great to be here. I've seen firsthand how 3D printing is transforming urban planning, and I wanted to create a program that equips professionals with the skills to leverage this technology for sustainable development. HOST: That sounds fascinating. Could you share some current trends in 3D printing for urban planning? GUEST: Sure. We're seeing a lot of innovation in digital fabrication techniques and sustainable materials. There's also a growing emphasis on parametric design and BIM integration. HOST: And what are some of the challenges in implementing 3D printing in urban planning? GUEST: There are several. One is the environmental impact of additive manufacturing in construction. We need to ensure that the materials and processes we use are as sustainable as possible. Another challenge is the need for new regulations and standards. HOST: That's interesting. Looking to the future, where do you see this field heading? GUEST: I believe 3D printing will play a crucial role in creating affordable housing, infrastructure, and resilient cities. It's a rapidly evolving field, and this course is designed to help professionals stay ahead of the curve. HOST: Dr. Smith, thank you for sharing your insights with us today.
