Have you ever wondered how much greenhouse gas your 3D printing production emits?

Host of BLUEPRINT Björn Hannappel sat down with Sustainability Manager Lea Stegemann and Consultant Nameer Syed who developed a carbon calculator, that calculates the cost and CO2e emissions of additively manufactured components. Besides bare numbers, the tool indicates the decisive emission contributors and allows users to improve their applications through what-if simulations. In addition, our experts explain why it is essential for manufacturers to have a price tag on emissions caused.
