CO2e calculator
The most powerful tool for sustainable product and business innovation
Your decision-making tool for future-proof production
The CO2e calculator is a strategic decision-making tool that enables manufacturing companies to assess and compare the environmental and operational impacts of additive manufacturing (AM) versus conventional manufacturing (CM).
Compare CO2e footprints across manufacturing methods
Gain insight into energy consumption, material waste, and logistics impact
Calculate the product’s total environmental impact (cradle-to-cradle)
Export results to Excel for reporting and documentation
Make data-driven decisions on production, design, and procurement
Use your own cases, products, and design files
Support innovation in products, processes, and business models
Align with green strategy and ESG frameworks
Transparency
Compare. Understand. Act.
The calculator allows you to set up comparative scenarios for AM and CM—based on your own inputs or verified datasets. Each calculation concludes with clear visualisations that provide action-oriented insights into CO2e, energy consumption, waste, and more.
The tool’s strength lies in its transparency: you can see how your design and production choices affect the environment and operations in practice.
Cradle-to-cradle
The calculator covers the product’s entire life cycle
From raw materials and production to transport, use, and end-of-life—the tool calculates the total CO2e footprint and resource consumption across the entire value chain. The calculations comply with ISO 14040 and 14044 and have been validated in collaboration with DTU.
Zenvo
The Danish hypercar manufacturer Zenvo has redesigned a component with significant gains in weight, aesthetics, and sustainability.
Advansor
When Advansor experienced issues with pressure drop in one of their ejectors, 3D printing came to the rescue.
Heatflow
Heatflow has optimised a component with 3D printing and reduced energy loss during heat transfer. This contributes to hot water in district heating systems.
