Adapt sustainable end-of-life (EoL) strategies since your product’s conceptual design stage

Current product development processes overlook EoL recovery strategies in the conceptual design stage, where 80% of a product’s environmental impact is determined. This often results in unsustainable EoL scenarios such as landfilling. With the aim of implementing an EoL recovery strategy in the conceptual design process, explore this case study that aims to implement an additive manufacturing (AM) repair strategy into a component’s conceptual design using multidisciplinary design optimization.

This research integrates a foundational design optimization workflow for additive manufacturing repair that implements a damage analysis into the conceptual design. A car loudspeaker mesh is used as a case study. This paper has potential of being a valuable conceptual design tool that would encourage sustainable strategies in the conceptual design process using Optimus, but requires further developments to provide more reliable performance information to the designer.
