Abstract

As the global manufacturing landscape undergoes a paradigm shift towards sustainability, the metal additive manufacturing industry faces the imperative to align its practices with environmental, economic, and social considerations. This chapter outlines a comprehensive roadmap towards sustainability in metal AM, addressing key challenges and proposing strategic interventions. Through a thorough analysis of current practices and their environmental impact, the paper identifies opportunities for improvement in material usage, energy consumption, and waste reduction. Additionally, the study explores the economic viability of sustainable practices, emphasizing the potential cost savings and market advantages. The integration of social responsibility within the metal AM ecosystem is also examined, emphasizing the importance of ethical and inclusive approaches. By synthesizing these elements, this chapter offers a framework to navigate the transition towards a more sustainable future.
