About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today I'm thrilled to be joined by Dr. Jane Smith, an expert in the field of 3D printing for historical artworks. She's here to tell us about an exciting new course she's involved with, the Graduate Certificate in 3D Printing for Historical Artworks. Welcome, Jane! GUEST: Thanks for having me! I'm excited to be here. HOST: Can you share a bit about your personal experiences and insights related to this course topic? GUEST: Absolutely! I've been working in cultural heritage for over 15 years, and I've seen firsthand how 3D printing can revolutionize the way we preserve and recreate historical artworks. HOST: Fascinating! And what current industry trends do you think are most relevant to this course? GUEST: There's a growing emphasis on digital preservation and accessibility, and 3D printing is a key part of that. This course will help museum professionals, conservators, and art historians stay at the forefront of these developments. HOST: That's great to hear. Now, every field has its challenges. What do you think some of the biggest challenges are in this area, or when teaching this subject? GUEST: One challenge is the need for specialized equipment and materials, which can be expensive. But we've designed the course to provide hands-on experience with these tools, so students can hit the ground running. HOST: It's always important to have practical experience. Speaking of the future, where do you see the field of 3D printing for historical artworks heading in the next 5-10 years? GUEST: I believe we'll see even more integration of digital technologies into museum and conservation practices. 3D printing will become a standard tool, and this course will equip professionals with the skills they need to excel in this new landscape. HOST: That's incredibly exciting, and I'm sure our listeners are eager to learn more. Thank you so much for joining us today, Dr. Smith.
