Widely used LCA tools such as SimaPro and openLCA are well suited when paired with AM-specific life cycle inventory databases. For more integrated design-to-LCA workflows, Granta EduPack or ANSYS Granta Selector are good choices. The best option depends on database access, required detail, and CAD integration needs.
