MAKE SUSTAINABILITY PART OF YOUR DESIGN PROCESS

SolidWorksreg Sustainability provides a practical tool or implementing corporate sustainability

strategies at the product design level The sofware considers our key environmental

indicators carbon ootprint total energy consumed impacts to air and impacts to water

You can evaluate these indicators across the projected liecycle o your design rom raw

materials and production through use and end-o-lie Part o the SolidWorks suite o product

development solutionsmdashcovering design simulation sustainability technical communication

and data managementmdashSolidWorks Sustainability enables you to monitor your productrsquos

sustainability throughout the product development process so you can make more

inormed decisions

ASK ldquoWHAT IFrdquo QUESTIONS AS YOU DESIGN

Similar to simulation sofware SolidWorks Sustainability lets you model different materials

and design solutions and then compare the effects You can explore the environmental

impacts o different materials resource procurement transportation requirements and

abrication approachesmdashwithout ever leaving the SolidWorks design environment

SPUR INNOVATION AND NEW PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

You can target ldquogreenrdquo market opportunities by rethinking existing designs and exploring

new ones at the CAD stage to create next-generation environmentally riendly products

By looking at sustainability in a way that wasnrsquot possible beore you can open up a new

more advanced dimension in your product development

SolidWorks Sustainability sofware enables you

to assess a wide range o environmental actors

during product design when you can quickly

make adjustments to reduce the environmental

impacts o your product Utilizing industry-

standard lie cycle assessment criteria and

ully integrated with your design environment

the sofware provides instant eedback so you

can easily address the increasing demand or

WORK SEAMLESSLY WITHIN THE SOLIDWORKS DESIGN ENVIRONMENT

Fully integrated with the design process SolidWorks Sustainability lives within the

SolidWorks Task Pane so assessment can become a natural and effortless part of your

workflow Sustainability data is automatically stored in the model file as standard engineering

information for your design so it can easily be shared with others

APPLY THE SCIENCE OF LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT EARLIER INTHE PROCESS

SolidWorks Sustainability is based on the science of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) a formal

methodology for measuring a designrsquos environmental impact over its entire life cycle including

raw materials extraction manufacturing assembly transportation product use and disposal

Traditionally this capability has only been available at the end of the product development

process SolidWorks Sustainability provides a screening-level LCA at the design stage

bringing the robustness of LCA data into the product development process at a fraction of

the time and cost of a typical assessment
