Abstract

Animals raised on a farm or harvested from the field need to be field dressed and skinned in order to obtain quality, unspoiled meat. This process is often interrupted due to a dull cutting blade that is not sized properly for the task. The OSAT cutting tool allows the user to cut only what is needed in a safe manner. This is accomplished by mounting a replaceable utility blade on a 3D printed handle with a guard. This design allows the user to cut just underneath the skin without puncturing organs.

Allowing the user to replace the blade ensures the tool is replaceable and easy to use time after time.

Bill of Materials

  1. Utility blades can be ordered in bulk for little cost. TEKTON supplies 100 utility blades for $9.26. This is available here. http://www.amazon.com/TEKTON-82580-Utility-Dispenser-100-Piece/dp/B000NPPCPK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1417533173&sr=8-1&keywords=utility+blades
  1. The STL file for the part can be found here.

Tools needed for fabrication of the OSAT

  1. MOST Delta RepRap or similar RepRap 3-D printer

Skills and Knowledge Necessary to Make the OSAT

  • If you used special skill – link to relevant wikipedia or wikiversity articles/courses

Technical Specifications and Assembly Instructions

  1. Provide directions for print/assembly - be detailed enough in your “how to” to ensure that someone could construct the device from your description. Consider the elegance of IKEA like instructions.
  2. Include print time estimate
  3. The blade should be simply placed into the groove on the handle.
  4. Including drawings or pictures of the device at stage of assembly at minimum. (http://www.appropedia.org/Special:Upload)


Common Problems and Solutions

  • Include common mistakes/problems to avoid in building your OSAT and how to overcome them

Cost savings

  • If your solution is not a low cost one then it is not really appropriate.
  1. Estimate your costs
  2. Find a commercial equivalent
  3. Calculate $ savings and % savings
