Additive Manufacturing - 3d printing LCA

Question

Hello all,

Am trying to create a simple model for investigating any savings from using 3d printing instead of a conventional process. I couldn`t find any helpful paradigms related to AM modeling. Do you have anything to propose? Maybe an example? I would really appreciate any help

Thanks :)

Hi Demetris,
well you should include the supply chains for aluminium and electricity and so forth, but it could well be that the manufacturing process itself has no emissions (maybe gaseuos evaporations?), and waste.
Best wishes,
Andreas

This is a very interesting post to me as I am trying to achieve something similar to do with 3D printing- Demetris, what was the result of this?  Do you have an email address I could contact you on?
