For the evaluation of a MAR/R process, not only process-, material- and demonstrator-specific correlations and data must be combined. In addition to secondary data (e.g. databases, publications, etc.), primary data (e.g. process times, volume flows, etc.) must also be collected for the specific application. The attached table shows the primary data to be collected for the cradle-to-gate process depending on the process phases and steps. This data is used as support for ecological as well as economic process and component evaluations.

This research was conducted in the scope of the research project RePARE- Regeneration of product and production systems through additive repair and refurbishment (Funding reference number 033R229) which is funded by Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) within the funding measure "Resourceefficient Circular Economy - Innovative Product Cycles" (ReziProK). This research has been funded as well by the Ministry for Science and Culture of Lower Saxony (MWK) – School for Additive Manufacturing SAM.
