Full article:

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) applied to Ecodesign is essential for guiding sustainable design decisions and allows the identification and opportunities of environmental improvement from the early stages of product development. This study aimed to compare the results of carbon footprint between a rigorous LCA and the use of SolidWorks Sustainability tool in the context of Ecodesign for a camera housing produced by Additive Manufacturing using the Multi Jet Fusion technology and the polyamide 12 (PA 12) material. According to the results, the values for SolidWorks Sustainability were 42% higher compared to the rigorous LCA study, with the main contribution from impacts related to electricity production. The main limitations of using this tool were identified and discussed.
