The Design to Manufacturing Co. Introduces Carbon Tracking and Zero-Waste 3D Printing Tools to the GCC
[Dubai, UAE] - For Immediate Release
New software and material recovery tools allow regional energy, aerospace, and industrial sectors to track their carbon footprint in real-time and achieve 100% powder reuse on production 3D printers.
DUBAI, UAE – 17.09.2025– The Design to Manufacturing Co. (theD2Mco), the region’s leading industrial digital manufacturing integrator, today announced the regional availability of two major sustainability tools designed to help Middle Eastern manufacturers meet aggressive environmental targets.
Released in tandem with Stratasys’ 2024 Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) report, the new capabilities - theGrabCAD Carbon EstimatorandSAF™ ReLife -provide measurable ways for regional organizations to reduce their climate impact and improve resource circularity.
Aligning with Regional Net Zero Mandates
As the UAE aggressively pursues its "Net Zero by 2050" strategic initiative and Saudi Arabia scales its "Saudi Green Initiative," industrial manufacturers are under increasing pressure to quantify and reduce their Scope 3 emissions. Additive manufacturing inherently reduces waste compared to subtractive machining, but these new tools allow organizations to actively manage it.
"Sustainability is no longer just a corporate buzzword; it is a strict procurement requirement for government and energy contracts in the Gulf," said Lorcan Nolan, Chief Marketing Officer at theD2Mco. "By equipping our clients with tools to accurately track the carbon footprint of a printed part, and the ability to reuse 100% of their waste powder, we are directly supporting their national Net Zero commitments while simultaneously driving down their material costs."
Actionable Sustainable Technologies
The newly available solutions address both the software and hardware sides of industrial production:
- GrabCAD Carbon Estimator:A software integration that provides real-time carbon tracking within existing additive manufacturing workflows, allowing engineers to calculate and optimize the environmental impact of parts before they are printed.
- SAF™ ReLife:A material recovery breakthrough for the Stratasys H350™ platform that enables the 100% reuse of PA12 waste powder. This effectively eliminates powder waste in high-volume production environments, driving down the cost-per-part and diverting industrial waste from landfills.
Availability
The GrabCAD Carbon Estimator and SAF™ ReLife material workflows are available to industrial operators across the region through The Design to Manufacturing Co.
