Sustainable Design
Can your company meet customers' growing demand for
eco-friendly products? In a couple of years, you won't
have a choice. Sustainable design gets you there ahead of the
market with a great, green product.
Get Started
 SolidWorks Sustainability simplifies
sustainable design. It puts the power of life cycle assessment
(LCA) in your hands, providing an accurate, cradle-to-grave look at
how your product's development and use affect the environment.
SolidWorks Sustainability lets you seamlessly integrate product
design with LCA, so you can instantly see how different design
approaches will alter a product's overall environmental impact.
Life Cycle Analysis
 LCA is the detailed analysis that gives
you the information you need to make the most environmentally
friendly decisions throughout product design. The analysis looks at
a product's entire life, which encompasses raw material extraction,
material production, manufacturing, product use, end-of-life
disposal, and all of the transportation that occurs between these
stages.
Environmental Impact Factors
 Sustainable design looks at how your
product's development, from cradle to grave, will affect four
crucial environmental factors: air acidification; carbon footprint;
total energy consumed; and water eutrophication. Measuring these
impacts will help you better design for the environment.
Why SolidWorks Sustainability?
 Worldwide awareness of environmental
issues has never been more acute. Consumers are increasingly
considering the environmental impact of products they buy. They're
not just looking at recyclability. They want to know about
materials used and how the product was made. Manufacturers, in
turn, are trying to respond to that growing demand. Learning about
designing for the environment now will put you ahead of the curve.
With SolidWorks Sustainability, you'll have the built-in
environmental intelligence to make more informed decisions about
what materials to use.
What it means for your Company?
As a manufacturer, you have no choice but to address market
changes. SolidWorks Sustainability is a tool that can help you stay
profitable as consumers increasingly choose sustainably designed
products. Using LCA information early in your design process will
save your company time and money by avoiding surprising
sustainability assessments and costly redesigns later. As a matter
of global corporate citizenship, sustainable design means making
decisions to ensure future environmental stability.
