Customizable corn sheller

People in rural areas often manually shell corn, a tedious task that varies greatly depending on the size of the crop. However, creating DIY shellers can be just as labor-intensive. Here, you have two options: utilize the customizer app or OpenSCAD to determine the ideal sheller size for your specific needs - then print it using plastic or metal materials. This is a prime example of open-source, 3-D printable technology that is being developed by Michigan Tech's Open Sustainability Technology Lab. A detailed academic paper illustrates how 3-D printing can be a highly effective tool in helping people overcome poverty in developing regions.
