Abstract:

This paper presents a comparative analysis of life cycle assessment of two products manufactured using alternative production methods: a phone case made of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) using 3D printing with FDM technology, and a phone case made of polycarbonate (PC) by injection molding induced with LCA analysis was performed with the help of specialized SimaPro software using the ReCiPe method
