Additive manufacturing accelerates green transformation in industry

February
2023

The aim to increase the level of sustainability in all industrial sectors is now challenged to reduce carbon footprint and improve the sustainability of their processes and value chains. This requires a gradual shift to new processes and technologies that minimize environmental impact and conserve energy and natural resources as much as possible.

Additive manufacturing accelerates green transformation in industry

Additive manufacturing offers a whole range of benefits in terms of more cost- and resource-efficient production resulting from new opportunities for design, manufacturing and business models. Of course, additive manufacturing also offers room to improve its own carbon footprint. For example, energy consumption in the materials production phase, such as powder production and AM product manufacturing, is relatively high. However, this can be offset by savings in the use of the end products.

Lost tools lose time

In many manufacturing operations, up to 60% of stock is never used, while around 15% of jobs fall behind schedule due to missing tools. What’s more, operators can spend as much as 20% of their time looking for lost tools. These findings, based on Sandvik Coromant's own research prove one thing: inadequate analysis of tool logistics drives up business costs.
