Abstract:This work elucidates the environmental impact on the production of components in the oil and gas sector by analyzing two different production routes. To this end, a life cycle assessment of the CNC machining process and additive manufacturing (AM) was carried out using Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) technology. Life cycle inventories were prepared for both processes, using the Open LCA software and information from the Ecoinvent database to develop the life cycle, with Cumulative Energy Demand (CED) being considered a… Show more
