In the current landscape, it can be challenging to determine if a company's environmental efforts are authentic or merely a form of greenwashing. On the latest episode of the BLUEPRTING Vlog, Bjorn Hannappel sits down with Sherri Monroe, the head of the Additive Manufacturing Green Trade Organization (AMGTA), who works with numerous companies dedicated to sustainability. They discuss the necessary requirements for classifying #3Dprinting as a sustainable technology.Links in this episode:Watch BLUEPRINT #7 featuring AMGTA member Siemens talking about sustainable 3D-printed gripperLearn more about AMGTA
In this episode, Björn Hannappel is joined by Jens Hübner, Additive Manufacturing Expert at Siemens. Together, they dive into the innovative world of 3D printing and explore Siemens’ topology-optimized gripper designed for efficiently transporting battery cells, while showcasing a 90% carbon footprint reduction.Together, they dive into the innovative world of 3D printing and explore Siemens' topology-optimized gripper designed for efficiently transporting battery cells, while showcasing a 90% carbon footprint reduction.

Have you ever wondered how much greenhouse gas your 3D printing production emits?Host of BLUEPRINT Björn Hannappel sat down with Sustainability Manager Lea Stegemann and Consultant Nameer Syed who developed a carbon calculator, that calculates the cost and CO2e emissions of additively manufactured components. Besides bare numbers, the tool indicates the decisive emission contributors and allows users to improve their applications through what-if simulations. In addition, our experts explain why it is essential for manufacturers to have a price tag on emissions caused.

In this 5thepisode, Björn explores the most secret department in his company - the R&D area. He learns from his colleague Marco what role innovations play in ending the climate crisis. System Engineer Markus explains how customers can increase the productivity of their DMLS 3D printers up to 60% thanks to the innovative beam shaping feature. Additive Manufacturing Consultant Davy works with customers to develop applications that require significantly fewer support structures during production, which not only saves material but also energy and inert gas.

Follow Björn in this episode to Berlin, where he meets with Stefanie Brickwede, Head of Additive Manufacturing at Deutsche Bahn. Until now, the company printed up to 60,000 spare parts and soundly investigated 3D printing to reduce cost, avoid waste and limit the standstill of trains. In addition to their manufacturing journey, you will discover the most exciting applications and benefits they have for their supply chain. Finally, Stefanie reveals why 3D printing is strategically important for the future of one of the largest European railway companies.BLUEPRINT for Responsible Manufacturing is a Vlog - so you'll have the best experience watching it on YouTube!
Join us for part two of sustainable plastic manufacturing and get exciting information about the first climate and carbon-neutral material for 3D printing. In the opening discussion, our EOS colleague Sam Houston will give you information about the properties of the biobased material and the industries in which it can be applied. Furthermore, Charlotte Herdt from our powder supplier Arkema will explain to you how castor beans are turned into plastic. Lastly, our third guest is Kai Landwehr from the NGO myclimate. Haven't you always wanted to know what carbon offsetting is and when it makes sense to utilize it? Kai will give you the answer.BLUEPRINT for Responsible Manufacturing is a Vlog - so you'll have the best experience watching it on YouTube!
In the second episode, Björn meets with two of his colleagues, polymer material experts, Sybille Fischer and Vanessa Seidenschwarz to discuss where carbon emissions occur during the 3D printing process. Sybille explains what happens to plastics during the process and the consequences this has for part properties. Vanessa gives insights into how users can prevent powder aging during production and work more efficiently, thanks to sustainability optimized parameters. Learn more about closing the material loop via powder reuse for other processes or powder and parts recycling.BLUEPRINT for Responsible Manufacturing is a Vlog - so you'll have the best experience watching it on YouTube!
Björn’s first guests are Sebastian Zenetti, Managing Director and Head of Sales at YOU MAWO, and Sebastian Kilchert, Research Associate at Fraunhofer EMI. YOU MAWO offers customized and sustainably produced eyewear. The study conducted with Fraunhofer EMI proved that YOU MAWO’s frame production is three times more sustainable than the conventional manufacturing process. Sebastian Kilchert explains in detail the focus of the study and why the life-cycle assessment was such a critical part of it. Learn more about the benefits of 3D printed eyewear and YOU MAWO’s sustainability goals for the future.BLUEPRINT for Responsible Manufacturing is a Vlog - so you'll have the best experience watching it on YouTube!
