Certificate Programme in Sustainable 3D Printing for Textiles

About this Podcast

HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today I'm thrilled to be speaking with an expert in sustainable 3D printing for textiles. Can you tell us a bit about your experience in this field? GUEST: Absolutely, I've been working with sustainable textile production methods for over a decade, and recently, I've focused on integrating 3D printing technology into these processes. HOST: Fascinating! So, what initially drew you to this area of work? GUEST: I've always been passionate about reducing the environmental impact of fashion and textile industries. 3D printing offers exciting possibilities for eco-friendly production and material innovation. HOST: That sounds amazing. Speaking of industry trends, could you share some current ones in sustainable 3D printing for textiles? GUEST: Of course. We're seeing more emphasis on using bio-based materials and circular economy principles in 3D printing for textiles. This approach helps minimize waste and create closed-loop systems. HOST: That's great to hear. But I imagine there must be challenges in implementing these new methods. Can you speak to any difficulties you've encountered? GUEST: Absolutely. One challenge is the need for mastery of design software and sustainable practices specific to 3D printing. It can be a steep learning curve for many professionals in the field. HOST: I can imagine. Now, looking to the future, how do you envision the role of sustainable 3D printing in the textile industry? GUEST: I believe it will play a significant role in reducing the environmental impact of textile production. With its precision and design flexibility, 3D printing can help create innovative, sustainable textile solutions. HOST: That's incredibly inspiring and gives our listeners a clear idea of the impact this course could have on their careers and the industry as a whole. Thank you so much for joining us today and sharing your insights! GUEST: My pleasure! Thanks for having me.
