How it works?

The 3D Spark software provides a detailed CO₂ footprint calculation for every part and production option you analyze. Our calculation focuses specifically on the production process, using data from the local energy mix where the part is manufactured, based on trusted sources like the International Energy Agency (IEA). This feature enables you to make manufacturing and procurement decisions not just based on cost and time, but also with sustainability in mind, helping you reduce your environmental impact.
