Sustainable
Metal Parts Manufacturing
Area Printing® is a green replacement for conventional methods.
Manufacturing's carbon footprint.
3D Printing has often been considered a green manufacturing method given that it reduces material waste and can create light-weight parts. Seurat’s Area Printing has the potential to magnify all of these ‘green’ benefits by focusing on high volume production.
In the US, manufacturing accounts for almost a quarter (23%) of direct carbon emissions, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. In Europe the situation is equally dire: the industry emits an annual total of 880 million tons of carbon dioxide equivalents making it one of the largest emitters of greenhouse gases on the continent. Manufacturing needs to evolve to be smarter and more sustainable for future generations.
By migrating such a high volume of part production from metal castings to Area Printing, Seurat will be able to positively impact our global net-zero journey.
Powered by 100% clean energy.
Carbon emissions in manufacturing are directly linked to energy consumption throughout the process chain as well as scrap metal and part production location. Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions can be most effectively reduced by sourcing renewable energy or reducing energy consumption overall.
Seurat's production runs on 100% clean energy today, and Seurat will keep it that way as it adds capacity. As Area Printing competitively displaces traditional manufacturing, it reduces GHG emissions and produces parts for customers where and when they need them.
-
Direct contributors to decarbonization include reducing GHG emissions related to machining, casting, and forging waste/scrap material and the related process energy requirements; in addition to freight, transportation, and warehousing for the components they make.
-
We have validated our reductions in carbon footprint according to ISO 14064 guidance, an international standard that addresses the reporting of greenhouse gas emissions.
Decarbonizing manufacturing.
Contributors to decarbonization include reducing GHG emissions related to machining, casting, and forging waste material and related energy requirements; in addition to freight, transportation, and warehousing.
Seurat's roadmap scales Area Printing in stages. A pilot factory in the Boston area (2024–2026) produces 25 tons per year on 0.5 MW. Seurat's first factory (2027–2030) scales to 500 tons per year on 10 MW and moves machining applications to Area Printing. Additional factories (2030–2035) produce 500 to 4,000 tons per year each on 10 to 80 MW and take on casting applications. From 2035 to 2045, factories open at global sites, and beyond 2045, Gen X factories reach 92,000 tons per year on 364 MW and take on forging applications. Seurat co-deploys every factory with green energy, with a goal of mitigating up to 100 million metric tons of CO₂ by 2035.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Area Printing reduce manufacturing carbon emissions?
Area Printing reduces the GHG emissions tied to the scrap material and process energy of machining, casting, and forging. Because Seurat produces parts domestically, it also reduces the emissions from the freight, transportation, and warehousing that long supply chains require.
Is Seurat's production powered by clean energy?
Yes. Seurat's production runs on 100% clean energy, and Seurat will keep it that way as it adds capacity.
How has Seurat validated its carbon footprint reductions?
Seurat has validated its reductions in carbon footprint according to ISO 14064 guidance, the international standard for quantifying and reporting greenhouse gas emissions.
How does domestic production reduce emissions?
Producing parts in the US, close to where customers need them, reduces the freight, transportation, and warehousing that offshore supply chains require. Each of those steps carries its own emissions, so a shorter supply chain lowers the carbon footprint of every part.
