N2 - Additive Manufacturing (AM) is gaining attraction due to its benefits such as the ability to fabricate complex shapes, reduced material waste, minimal tooling among others. Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) is an AM process that presents novel opportunities in the fabrication, repair, and refurbishment of products. Nowadays with increased awareness regarding sustainability, assessment of WAAM based on its environmental and economic performance is essential. The popular methods for environmental and economic assessment are Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Life Cycle Costing (LCC) respectively. Both these methods are data and time-intensive requiring knowledgeable personnel for their implementation. The objective of this paper is to reduce the time, labour, and costs concerning LCA and LCC procedures by digitalizing them. This paper presents a digital platform where LCA and LCC analyses of WAAM products can be obtained by a user just by entering the geometrical specifications of a product and process parameters.
