Quick chat with Ítalo
EPISODE 2 October 2024
I had the privilege of having a conversation with Ítalo Gonçalves from Brazil,
the 2019 Winner of the Worldskills Mechatronics competition. He graciously shared
with me his journey to victory, demonstrating his relentless drive to excel. It
was evident that he dedicated himself to honing his skills and abilities, pushing
himself to the limit in preparation for the competition. Despite all the hard work
that led to his win, Ítalo remained remarkably humble and grounded throughout our
conversation. He expressed deep gratitude for the opportunity and conveyed how
honored he felt to represent his country on such a magnificent stage.
Join me as we delve into the captivating world of Additive Manufacturing. I am delighted to
have Joost Visser from the Netherlands joining me in this conversation. In today's episode, we
have an exhilarating lineup of topics to explore. We will discuss the latest advancements in 3D
printing technology and how various industries are leveraging additive manufacturing to
revolutionise their production processes. Additionally, we will delve into the diverse range of
materials that can be utilized for 3D printing, ranging from metals to plastics. Together, we will
uncover the endless possibilities that arise from this innovative form of manufacturing. Additive
manufacturing is reshaping the way we fabricate physical objects, offering a swift and cost-effective
approach. So, are you prepared for what the future holds? Have you ever experimented with a 3D printer?
Let's embark on this intriguing conversation.
Join me in exploring the concealed chronicles of mechatronics through an enlightening discussion with Professor Li from University
in China, a distinguished university researcher and professor who has dedicated over three decades to this fascinating field.
