SYSTEMATIC BIBLIOGRAPHICAL REVIEW AND GUIDELINES ON ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING/3D PRINTING ORIENTED TO SUSTAINABILITY

Abstract

With the technologies diversity on the rise currently, it becomes necessary to investigate how to use them in sustainable practices. The present study is a Systematic Bibliographic Review (SBR) that verified how Additive Manufacturing/3D Printing technology is being associated with sustainability in scientific productions in Brazil. The sixteen (16) selected papers were published in Encontro de Sustentabilidade em Projeto (ENSUS), Congresso Brasileiro de Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento em Design (P&D Design), Simpósio de Design Sustentável (SDS) annals and Mix Sustentável magazine, between the years 2018 to 2023. The results show (1) papers analysis, aiming to identify its central themes, most recurrent were: Product-Service System (PSS), Waste Reduction, Ecodesign and Recycling; (2) Keywords definition, most used being “3D Printing”, “Additive Manufacturing”, “Biomimicry”, “Filaments” and “Recycling”; (3) understanding studies focus through Design for Sustainability strategies; (4) guidelines for applying 3D printing sustainably.
