添加剂制造商绿色贸易协会（AMGTA）是一个全球贸易集团，旨在促进添加剂制造（AM）的绿色益处（AM），在Rapid + TCT 2021宣布，它选择了Rochester Technology Institute of Rochester of Rochester of Rochester of Rochester of Rochester进行生命周期评估（LCA），将设计和制造的航空航天组件与传统制造的组件进行比较。该研究将符合ISO 14040，将比较通过传统制造方法生产的喷气发动机低压涡轮机（LPT）支架的摇篮环境影响与通过AM生产的托架。
“This new study will include up to 18 different environmental indicators to quantify the environmental impacts that an optimized jet engine LPT bracket has throughout its entire life cycle—from material extraction, manufacturing, transportation, use, and its eventual end-of-life,” said Sherry Handel, AMGTA’s Executive Director. Ms. Handel added, “This data will then be compared to a traditionally designed and manufactured LPT bracket to determine where exactly powder bed fusion AM technology results in lower environmental impacts.” Through robust and independent research studies, the AMGTA will continue to publish research reports that advance environmental sustainability within the additive manufacturing industry.
The LCA report will be peer reviewed by a panel of three LCA experts to ensure methodology, data, assumptions, results, and conclusions are accurate. The report is expected to be published in the spring of 2022 and the key findings will be announced at RAPID + TCT in May 2022.
