Abstract

In the context of biological transformation, the goal in process planning is to support the user towards more efficient and especially more sustainable processes. A life cycle assessment (LCA) is a tool used to evaluate the environmental impact of a product or process over its entire life cycle. So far, the modelling of a milling process strongly depends on the removed volume. Information available from a state-of-the-art CAM software like tool path length, linking movements and retractions of the machine are neglected. Therefore, this paper methodically investigates the potential for process planning to include LCA models for milling operation to implement more sustainable manufacturing processes.
