3D Printing, Design Lab and its Prospects in Nepal

Welcome to the third episode of AVANT-GARDE-GRASP. This week we have Mr Pratisthit Lal Shrestha. He is an assistant professor in the department of mechanical engineering in Kathmandu University. He is also the in-charge of the design lab, which is operated under the department of mechanical engineering in the university. As such, his area of expertise is primarily 3D modelling, printing, robotics and biomechanics. He and his team recently came under the limelight after producing a prototype 3D mask- an essential tool in this era of COVID. This feat, we hope, will open up new doors for incorporation of this technology in other fields- even medicine. This episode is hosted by Rtr Anukram, and the topic of discussion is 3D technology and its implications in various fields. Also in the floor is the Design Lab of Kathmandu University. We hope you enjoy this episode.
