SOLIDWORKS SUSTAINABILITY INCORPORATE SUSTAINABILITY INTO YOUR PRODUCT DESIGN SUSTAINABLE DESIGN SolidWorks Sustainability performs real-time environmental assessment as part of your product design process. Fully integrated with your design environment and using industry-standard lifecycle assessment criteria, SolidWorks Sustainability provides instant feedback, so you can quickly make adjustments to your design and turn your sustainability goals into results. Real-time environmental assessment during product design SolidWorks® Sustainability provides practical design-centric environmental assessments in real time to help you develop more sustainable products. It’s easy to use and designed for the non-expert, providing actionable environmental results at a fraction of the time and cost of a typical assessment. Whether you’re new to adding sustainability initiatives, looking to comply with environmental laws and standards, already building environmentally-friendly products, or an industry leader, SolidWorks Sustainability gives you the data you need to make informed design decisions. Reduce costs and improve your design More than just a materials assessment tool, SolidWorks Sustainability quantifies impacts across the full product lifecycle—from raw materials extraction and production through product use to end-of-life. Reliable environmental data, instant feedback, and a powerful material comparison tool guide your design decisions. Now you can quickly create more sustainable design options that require fewer materials, produce less waste, and use less energy while you meet your product performance criteria.
