Users can toggle between different inputs and receive real-time estimates of how these changes will affect their \u201ccradle-to-gate\u201d carbon outputs.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Internally, we used the MSI feature to cut the emissions associated with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/introducing-the-autodesk-keypad-2-0\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a keypad<\/a> that Autodesk University attendees could build and take home during our AU Factory Experience event. Simply by making some small changes to the product design, we were able to cut the carbon footprint of this product by nearly 50 percent. When companies leverage MSI to also tweak three key factors\u2014materials selection, manufacturing processes, and production geography\u2014they could see even more dramatic results.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"936\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/image.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-73030\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/image.jpg 936w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/image-300x126.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/image-768x322.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 936px) 100vw, 936px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-msi-tool-for-autodesk-fusion-enables-teams-tonbsp\">The MSI tool for Autodesk Fusion enables teams to: <\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-explore-the-most-sustainable-materialsnbsp\"><strong>1. Explore the most sustainable materials<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<br>It\u2019s obvious that choosing materials with a smaller carbon footprint will improve the overall sustainability of a product design. However, it remains quite difficult for organizations to obtain information about the environmental impact of the raw materials they use.&nbsp; If designers want to know how much carbon is associated with each potential production material, they often have to research this information themselves. Because this would slow down the product design process, this research often never gets done, and companies miss out on simple steps that could make their products more sustainable.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fusion\u2019s MSI tool bridges this gap by providing designers with readily accessible carbon information for a range of common alloys and polymers via a drop-down menu. As soon as designers select a material, they will instantly see how that choice affects the overall carbon footprint of the product.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Autodesk partnered with Gravity Climate, an end-to-end carbon and energy management platform built for complex operations and supply chains, to offer this data in an easily accessible, free-to-use feature.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-choose-the-most-sustainable-manufacturing-processnbsp\"><strong>2. Choose the most sustainable manufacturing process<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n<p>The discussion around sustainable design and manufacturing tends to revolve almost exclusively around materials selection, with maybe a nod here and there to shipping. But we\u2019ve actually found that by simply <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/autodesk-university\/class\/How-Can-Sustainable-Manufacturing-Save-You-Money-And-Help-Planet-2022#video\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">changing the <em>way <\/em>a product is made<\/a>\u2014even with the same materials, in the same location\u2014can make a dramatic difference to overall carbon emissions.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MSI analyzes common manufacturing processes including CNC machining, 3D printing, and injection molding, among others.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally, additive processes are less carbon-intensive than subtractive processes, because they tend to produce less waste. Some of this is common sense, but it\u2019s worth noting that additive and subtractive processes actually have inverse causes of carbon emissions. Additive processes, being very material-efficient, see most of their emissions coming from energy consumption, whereas a process like CNC milling sees most of its emissions coming from the embodied carbon of stock material.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s also important to consider scale. A process that requires a mold might be more carbon-intensive at first, but eventually manufacturers will reach a break-even point where the per-unit carbon output of the molding process is lower than that of other processes.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Previously, design and sustainability teams would have had to pore over complex research papers and build their own lifecycle assessment workflows using Excel spreadsheets to arrive at these conclusions. But MSI puts this granular information at designers\u2019 fingertips, allowing them to instantly factor projected production runs into their carbon calculations.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"785\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/image-1024x785.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-73040\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/image-1024x785.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/image-300x230.png 300w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/image-768x588.png 768w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/image-1536x1177.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/image.png 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"778\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/image-1-1024x778.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-73045\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/image-1-1024x778.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/image-1-300x228.png 300w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/image-1-768x584.png 768w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/image-1-1536x1167.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/image-1.png 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-consider-the-carbon-impact-of-geographynbsp\"><strong>3. Consider the carbon impact of geography<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s true that shipping distances can affect the embodied carbon of manufactured products. But for small, light items, the difference is sometimes negligible. Frequently, the more important consideration is the energy grid mix of different manufacturing markets. Simply relocating manufacturing from a region dependent on fossil fuels to one powered predominantly by clean energy can lead to a threefold reduction in carbon emissions.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These calculations become even more interesting\u2014and more impactful\u2014when you consider multiple factors alongside one another. For instance, say you\u2019re considering making a product using a very energy-intensive process like selective laser sintering. In a country where the energy supply is renewable, this might not actually increase the total carbon associated with a product by all that much. (In fact, if the process allows you to use more sustainable materials, it could even potentially help you to <em>cut <\/em>carbon.) However, in many markets, the decision to use this process would spike carbon numbers dramatically.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MSI allows designers to not only see how geography affects carbon, but also how different countries perform with different sets of materials and manufacturing processes\u2014giving companies the data they need to make informed decisions about where to produce their goods.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"693\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Screenshot-2024-11-07-at-3.08.47-PM-1024x693.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-73080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Screenshot-2024-11-07-at-3.08.47-PM-1024x693.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Screenshot-2024-11-07-at-3.08.47-PM-300x203.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Screenshot-2024-11-07-at-3.08.47-PM-768x520.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Screenshot-2024-11-07-at-3.08.47-PM-1536x1040.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Screenshot-2024-11-07-at-3.08.47-PM.jpg 1622w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"looking-aheadnbsp\"><strong>Looking ahead<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n<p>While MSI provides valuable insights, it\u2019s not a replacement for a full environmental audit, which would require the expertise of an environmental engineer. But it does represent a crucial first step in helping manufacturers to better understand\u2014and minimize\u2014their carbon impact. Also, the tool is designed to evolve based on <a href=\"https:\/\/forums.autodesk.com\/t5\/autodesk-research-community\/gh-p\/6155\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">user feedback,<\/a> with plans to expand MSI\u2019s materials library and capabilities over time. Looking ahead, it\u2019s easy to imagine a future in which MSI is able to track and calculate carbon data accurately enough to produce environmental product declarations\u2014an outcome that would be extraordinarily useful as global environmental regulations continue to tighten in the coming years.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For now, think of MSI as a foundational tool to help companies first measure\u2014and then minimize\u2014the carbon associated with the products they are designing. For many companies, MSI Insights will sit alongside <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/solutions\/sustainable-manufacturing\">other Sustainability tools<\/a> offer by Autodesk that enable them to comply with regulatory standards and reduce waste. Learn more about those tools <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/solutions\/sustainable-manufacturing\">here<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sustainable product design doesn\u2019t happen by accident. Rather, it\u2019s the result of countless deliberate choices. By providing real-time data about materials, manufacturing processes, and production geography, MSI accelerates and simplifies the process of making these decisions, paving the path for a new era of sustainable manufacturing.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-a89b3969 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\"><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/apps.autodesk.com\/FUSION\/en\/Detail\/Index?id=5902568957837856470&amp;appLang=en&amp;os=Win64\" class=\"\n            MuiButtonBase-root MuiButton-root\n            wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\n            \n            \n            \n            MuiButton-contained\n        \">\n\n        <span class=\"MuiButton-label\">\n            \n            \nDownload MSI in the Autodesk App Store&nbsp;\n\n            \n        <\/span>\n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discover how Autodesk Fusion&#8217;s MSI tool helps minimize carbon footprints by evaluating materials, processes, and geography in manufacturing, driving sustainable product design decisions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5164,"featured_media":73035,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[497,480,236,479],"tags":[34,143,296],"coauthors":[791],"class_list":["post-73029","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-advanced-manufacturing","category-manufacturing","category-mechanical-engineering","category-product-design-engineering","tag-customer-stories","tag-manufacturing","tag-sustainability","dhig-theme--light"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
