Abstract
During the recent days, product development practices are to be incorporated with sustainability principles for minimization of environment impacts. This paper presents the sustainable product design of a sprocket. The existing design of sprocket is modelled using computer-aided design (CAD). The existing design is subjected to analysis using computer-aided engineering (CAE) and the weight has been reduced to derive two modified designs. The existing and modified designs are subjected to environmental impact analysis using sustainability analysis module. The environmental impacts are assessed under four categories. Based on the study, it has been found that weight of the sprocket got reduced by 14% and carbon-based impact got reduced by 2%.
