Abstract Greenhouse gas emissions are caused by human activities, one of which is the manufacturing process, main driver global warming. The machining process a common practice in sectors such as aerospace and automotive. Based on latter, this research focuses understanding testing an alternative way to make economically sustainable process. This study reports performance tool life analysis under dry settings, cutting speed calculation considers tooling costs. Developing design experiment established power demand equation, part energy model presented research, it also helps understand carbon dioxide environment before starting milling results, evaluation shows longest working time good conditions with measured surface roughness less than 0.6 μm . improve consumption CO 2 0.11 kWh 0.055 kg 2, respectively, essential challenge reducing footprint.
