Suggest Guests For Our Podcast: https://forms.gle/ytt6a9jxe8YwzsGD6 What can Nepal actually manufacture—and what does it take to turn an engineering idea into a useful product? In this episode of the Sushant Pradhan Podcast, we sit down with Pratisthit Lal Shrestha, Mechanical Engineer and Coordinator of the Design and Manufacturing Subdivision at Kathmandu University (KU), to explore engineering, product development, and the possibilities of local innovation. From prosthetic legs and prosthetic knee research to 3D printing, robotics, and exoskeletons, we discuss how mechanical engineering connects design with practical applications. The conversation explores the challenges of developing prosthetic devices, testing durability, and considering new ways to apply 3D printing in medical settings, including spine surgery. We also look at the future of mechanical engineering in Nepal, how an engineering laboratory operates, and what it takes to move from research and prototypes toward real-world products. Regulations, product development processes, and commercial liability raise important questions for anyone interested in building and manufacturing new technologies. Whether you're an engineering student, technology enthusiast, researcher, entrepreneur, or simply curious about Nepal's innovation potential, this conversation offers a closer look at the opportunities and challenges behind turning ideas into products. Watch the full conversation and share your thoughts: What should Nepal focus on designing and manufacturing next?
