In a Live-Lab research environment, the design solutions of four engineering teams were analyzed at each iteration to assess how immediate PCF feedback and detailed sustainability information impacted both the design process and the final Product Carbon Footprint of the sheet-metal parts. The findings show that understanding the influencing factors of sustainable sheet-metal design and receiving PCF feedback led to PCF reductions of over 30 %, highlighting the importance of quantifiable sustainability metrics in industrial design practices.en2212-82712025510515Elsevier BVhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Sustainable DesignImmediate PCF FeedbackLive-LabProduct Carbon FootprintMethodological Design SupportSheet-Metal DesignTechnology::621: Applied PhysicsTechnology::620: Engineering::620.1: Engineering Mechanics and Materials Science::620.11: Engineering MaterialsJournal Articlehttps://doi.org/10.15480/882.1616210.1016/j.procir.2025.08.08810.15480/882.16162Journal Article
