Comment: The project will develop a complete manufacturing path, including not only the replication itself, but also the device design, part design, tool design, tool making, as integrated steps which must take into account .

Comment: The project planning includes the monitoring and evaluation of the overall impact and sustainability indicators of the developed complete manufacturing path against current State of the Art baseline (benchmarks), with throughful collection of the Life Cycle Inventories of each individual process step and the impact of batch size, design change and other contingencies in the overall environmental impact of the complete manufacturing chain.
Economic feasibility is addressed all along the development of the project by monitoring the impact of toolmaking technologies (tool material, design, modularity, toolmaking/refurbish/repair technologies, ...) in the overall economy of the manufacturing process.
