Could you benefit from a tool that helps you design greener products?

What is Sustainable Design and why is it required?

Every product goes through a lifecycle of material procurement, development, manufacturing, usage and finally disposal. A sustainable design is a robust design given to the product to survive the rigors of day-to-day usage, external environmental effects, and accidents.

A Sustainable design helps to prolong the ‘usage –> abandonment’ lifecycle of the product without being a negative influence to the environment.

How SolidWorks Sustainability affirms the above statement ?

Looking at the recent environmental impact across the globe and rising concerns due to global warming, there is an increase in demand for products that are made from environment-friendly materials, prolonged product usability, and scope for recycling after disposal.

SolidWorks Sustainability helps product design engineers and manufacturing firms to alter the interaction between industries and environment for good. Design engineers can build eco friendly products by using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) method and taking Environmental Impact Factors into account.

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)

SolidWorks Sustainability gives a detailed analysis report on the environmental impact, a product would have throughout its lifecycle. LCA takes the entire product lifecycle into account, right from Raw material extraction till end of life of the product including shipment and market reach ability.

Environmental Impact Factors

Air Acidification
Carbon Footprint
Total Energy Consumed
Water Eutrophication

Each manufacturing process uses water, gases, energy as a part of their product generation. The by-products or wastes generated out of this processes are either vent into the atmosphere or into water bodies, thus having adverse impact on the biological and marine eco-system.

SolidWorks Sustainability gives you the ability to measure each of the Environmental Impact Factors mentioned above, at each stage of your product design & development process. The data for the product used by SolidWorks Sustainability is provided by PE International of Stuttgart, Germany.

Users can vouch on the accuracy of the estimates given out by SolidWorks Sustainability. The values generated are within +/- 20% and can be called as an estimate value.
