Sustainability / 3D Printing information

Hello 

I have to carry out a study on sustainability on a 3D printed part, the problem is that 3D printing is not registered by default in the "process" part, do you have any sleeps? if possible a source.

Thank you, Sincerely.

Hello @  wolf37n 

Your question is a bit tricky

SOLIDWORKS SustainabilityXpress

Handles part documents (volume bodies only) and is included in the core software.

SOLIDWORKS Sustainability

Manages parts (bulkheads only) and assemblies. Available as a separate product. Other features include configuration support, extended reporting, and extensive environmental impact options.

Here we are talking according to the 2 versions 

Which version do you have?

Volume only

Do you think that 1 3D print is a real volume body?

it is full or not

if it is not full, i.e. honeycomb internal to the outer skin

it's more of a volume body as defined in the log

That is to say that the volume via the density will obviously not be the same

since the internal body will lack matter

how do you expect the log to come out

Which of + is the lifespan of the MECA resistance depending on the version?

for the moment not too much feedback it seems to me

What type of part is it?

as a curiosity ;-)

What type of printer?

What material?

Is the MECA resistance between layers homogeneous?

etc....

or you disregard your impression and you think that your part is a part made from a block (sculture type)

@+ ;-)
