What is SolidWorks Sustainability?

SolidWorks Sustainability helps you to better understand the ecological impact of your product and make more environmentally friendly design choices. The program is built around core capabilities that are as easy to use as they are comprehensive.

Like all SolidWorks products, SolidWorks Sustainability makes a complex process easy to understand and use. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) becomes another fast, yet critical step in product development, giving you the information you need to make environmentally friendly engineering decisions. Sustainable design is now SolidWorks simple!
