About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today we're speaking with an expert in the field of 3D printing and recreational facility development. Can you tell us a bit about this advanced certificate program and what inspired its creation? GUEST: Thanks for having me! This program is designed to equip professionals with the skills to design and build innovative recreational spaces using additive manufacturing techniques. We saw a gap in the industry for a course that focused on sustainable materials and digital design software for parks, playgrounds, and sports facilities. HOST: That's fascinating. Could you share some current industry trends that are relevant to this course? GUEST: Absolutely. One trend we're seeing is the growing use of 3D printing in infrastructure projects, such as bridges and buildings. Another trend is the increasing importance of sustainability and using eco-friendly materials. Our course covers both of these topics in depth. HOST: And what challenges have you faced in teaching this subject, or that students have faced while learning? GUEST: One challenge is that the technology is constantly evolving, so we have to stay up-to-date with the latest developments. Another challenge is that some students may not have a background in 3D printing, so we provide additional resources and support to help them get up to speed. HOST: That's a great point. Looking to the future, where do you see the field of 3D printed recreational facilities development heading? GUEST: I believe we'll continue to see more and more recreational facilities being built using 3D printing technology. The benefits of this approach, such as reduced construction times, lower costs, and greater design flexibility, make it an attractive option for many projects. HOST: It's definitely an exciting time for the industry. Thank you so much for joining us today and sharing your insights on this advanced certificate program. GUEST: My pleasure. Thanks for having me!
