This makes openLCA also suited for work in highly sensitive areas, but also in education and research.įurther, openLCA is also well suited for tailored software, developed by you or by us. If you want you can inspect the code for any potential issues including security issues and any malicious behaviour. Since the code and program is accessible, you see the quality of our work.

In the experiment, 2 l cutting fluid drop was placed on a tungsten carbide substrate, having a surface roughness of 0.2 m, for 15 s, and the contact angle was captured through an optical image.
We believe this fits perfectly to Life Cycle and Sustainability Assessment as a user, this brings you flexibility, you do not need to worry about software codes, and are not locked in, and bound by, a closed source, black box software. Carbides A hard material made of compacted binary compounds of carbon and heavy metals, used to make tools that cut metal. One reason for its development was to make LCA and Sustainability Assessment more accessible and affordable, and we are grateful for supporters for the project, initially in Europe and later on especially in the US.Īs a result, openLCA is completely free, without any license costs, and there is no catch. This is uncommon for LCA software, where other main software packages are closed source, with costs for a business licence of several thousand Euros. Since its beginning, openLCA is an open source software, according to the standards of the open source initiative.
