Abstract
Currently, when the most suitable material manufacturing process is chosen, not only technical or economical aspects have to be considered, otherwise, it has to emphasize its sustainability. In this document, an easy method to compare mass reduction processes and mass conservation processes, with an application to compare drawing process and machining process, is shown. The comparative comparison makes possible to justify that plastic deformation processes usually have more advantages.
