Abstract

AbstractAdditive manufacturing (AM) became a key technology in the development of innovative products. Advancements have been made to improve economic feasibility. However, ecological sustainability is still an open issue of AM. To improve sustainability, it is crucial to track, visualize, and evaluate emissions along the lifecycle. This paper presents a novel Digital Twin based approach enabling prediction of the product carbon footprint (PCF) and prescriptive measures to improve sustainability. By improving part and process design, a significant PCF reduction was achieved.
