SolidWorks SustainabilityXpress is a powerful tool that enables students to integrate social, environmental, and economic aspects into their designs. This program emphasizes the necessity of sustainable engineering, preparing future designers to incorporate Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) into their CAD processes. By measuring environmental impacts such as carbon footprint, energy consumption, air acidification, and water eutrophication, students learn to communicate and improve the ecological effects of their designs. Educators can guide students in understanding how material and manufacturing choices affect the environment.

What is Sustainable Engineering? • Sustainableengineering is the integration of social, environmental, and economic conditions into a product or process • Soon all design will be SustainableDesign • SolidWorksSustainabilityXpressallows students to be environmentally conscious about their designs • Successful products are developed by integrating LifeCycleAssessment(LCA) directly into Computer Aided Design (CAD)
