Green Design: Sustainable Materials

imaginitfeeds@rand.com (IMAGINiT Technologies) — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 08:52:01 EDT

Think green by considering sustainability early in your design process:

Does my design contain toxic materials?
Is it made of recyclable materials?
What is its carbon footprint?

The Sustainable Materials Assistant for Inventor helps you make responsible material choices that can reduce the product's environmental impact--while still meeting performance requirements.

The Assistant is available now from Autodesk Labs and adds these features:

Inventor's materials library has new fields for adding sustainability properties.
Sustainability reports analyze and document the environmental impact of selected materials
Calculate the carbon footprint of the entire design.
