Intro to Mechanical Prototyping
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a systematic process for evaluating the environmental impacts associated with all stages of a product's life, from raw material extraction through manufacturing, use, and disposal. This comprehensive approach helps designers and manufacturers identify opportunities for reducing negative environmental effects and improving overall sustainability, leading to iterative design improvements and better alignment with principles of design for manufacturability.
congrats on reading the definition of Life Cycle Assessment. now let's actually learn it.
