Sustainability Calculator Polymer

Calculate the CO2 footprint and energy consuption of metal additive manufacturing parts based on their volume, bounding box, complexity and quantity in a wide range of technologies:

• Laser Powder Bed Fusion (SLS)
• Thermal Powder Bed Fusion (MJF)
• Area-wiste Vat Polymerization (DLP)
• Vat Polymerization (SLA)
• Material Extrusion (FDM)

Materials include for SLS and MJF powder bed technologies PA12, PA11, PP, TPU. For SLA and DLP Vat Polmyerization, two types of resins are included. For Material Extrusion/FDM technology, ABS, PA6, PET, rPET, PLA, rPLA and PP are included in the tool.

Compare up to 5 different Additive Manufacturing directly with injection molding and get a complex calculation output such as:

• CO2 Emissions (g/part)
• Energy consuption (kWh/part)
• Water consumption (L/part)
• Process chain break down

Adjust all parameters to adapt the calculation to your needs.

Complete Excel-based, all values can be individualized with basic Excel skills.
