“…A number of studies claim that the reduction of transportation when using AM can significantly reduce transportations' carbon footprint [24,85,96]. This reduced transportation is mainly caused by the acquisition of precise quantities of raw material, and decentralized production geographically to consumers, thus reducing or even eliminating inventory [11,85,111].…”

Environmental Sustainability of Digitalization in Manufacturing: A Review

The rapid development and implementation of digitalization in manufacturing has enormous impact on the environment. It is still unclear whether digitalization has positive or negative environmental impact from applications in manufacturing. Therefore, this study aims to discuss the overall implications of digitalization on environmental sustainability through a literature study, within the scope of manufacturing (product design, production, transportation, and customer service). The analysis and categorization of selected articles resulted in two main findings: (1) Digitalization in manufacturing contributes positively to environmental sustainability by increasing resource and information efficiency as a result of applying Industry 4.0 technologies throughout the product lifecycle; (2) the negative environmental burden of digitalization is primarily due to increased resource and energy use, as well as waste and emissions from manufacturing, use, and disposal of the hardware (the technology lifecycle). Based on these findings, a lifecycle perspective is proposed, considering the environmental impacts from both the product and technology lifecycles. This study identified key implications of digitalization on environmental sustainability in manufacturing to increase awareness of both the positive and negative impacts of digitalization and thereby support decision making to invest in new digital technologies.

“…This requires not only efficient technical solutions, but also correct consumer behavior and attitudes toward the mentioned waste management [ 69 ]. Global conclusions regarding the sustainability of 3D printing vary with time and research [ 70 ]. A simple calculation of the energy consumption of a 3D printer was proposed by Annibaldi and Rotilio [ 70 ], but this research represents another breakthrough in the aforementioned area.…”

“…Global conclusions regarding the sustainability of 3D printing vary with time and research [ 70 ]. A simple calculation of the energy consumption of a 3D printer was proposed by Annibaldi and Rotilio [ 70 ], but this research represents another breakthrough in the aforementioned area. Limitations potentially minimizing the use of 3D printing for environmental reasons include high production costs and high energy consumption during the process [ 71 , 72 , 73 , 74 ].…”

Technological and material issues in 3D printing technologies should take into account sustainable development, use of materials, energy, emitted particles, and waste. The aim of this paper is to investigate whether the sustainability of 3D printing processes can be supported by computational intelligence (CI) and artificial intelligence (AI) based solutions. We present a new AI-based software to evaluate the amount of pollution generated by 3D printing systems. We input the values: printing technology, material, print weight, etc., and the expected results (risk assessment) and determine if and what precautions should be taken. The study uses a self-learning program that will improve as more data are entered. This program does not replace but complements previously used 3D printing metrics and software.
