Streamlined LCA Comparison: Injection Molding vs. Low Cost Additive Manufacturing for a New Consumer Product
In this 26-page report, Eric Wooldridge of KCTCS Additive Manufacturing Center of Excellence at Somerset Community College presents a Life Cycle Assessment of the environmental impacts of two different Additive Manufacturing (AM) processes: the conventional plastic injection molding (IM) and the use of low-cost additive manufacturing equipment (LCAM). Wooldridge compares the energy demands of each process and their respective carbon footprints to assess which process is more environmentally sustainable.
