I am looking at ways to investigate the biodegradation of 3D printed specimen as part of my research. To what extent can SimaPro be used to do this? The idea is to demonstrate the biodegradation of PLA 3D printed specimen based on shelf-life environmental conditions if it's used as a product (e.g. packaging material etc.).
Any advice will be greatly appreciated!
Je pense que le logiciel Simapro en sa qualité d'analyste du cycle de vie, est efficace pour l'analyse de la biodégradation des échantillons.
Vois prendrez donc compte de tout le processus conduisant a la biodégradation de l'échantillon : Du consentement, la.collecte de l'échantillon jusqu'à la dégradation.
SimaPro can be used to model and analyze the biodegradation of 3D printed specimens, particularly those made from biobased and biodegradable materials like PLA (polylactic acid). By conducting a life cycle assessment (LCA) in SimaPro, researchers can simulate the environmental impacts of 3D printing technologies and materials throughout their lifecycle, including the end-of-life stage where biodegradation occurs. Previous studies have demonstrated the capability of SimaPro to comparatively evaluate the recycling and degradation of various 3D printing materials, making it a useful tool to investigate and demonstrate the biodegradation of PLA 3D printed products, such as packaging, under different environmental conditions.
