Castor, an industrial 3D printing software company, has released new research that indicates manufacturers can reduce carbon emissions through additive manufacturing (AM), showing that more than one-third of 3D printed parts can reduce carbon emissions.
The research is based on Castor’s latest addition to its software, a calculator that reveals the amount of CO2 emissions that can potentially be saved by using AM instead of traditional manufacturing.
The report emphasizes the environmental benefits of using AM over traditional manufacturing methods. It highlights different aspects where AM has strong CO2 emissions-saving potential as in complex geometries parts and spare parts that be produced on demand.

Additive Manufacturing is the media brand devoted to industrial applications of 3D printing technology. Our editors travel the world exploring the ways manufacturers are using this technology to make tooling, molds, functional prototypes and end-use production parts in a range of industry sectors. We cover everything from 3D printing news and product releases to expert interviews and in-depth application stories centered around real AM users. Our website and social media channels are updated daily with new content related to this mission.
