Seal Breaker V2

thingiverse

The purpose of this model is to use to break or remove a seal, such as sealed food, more easily than you could with your hands. This tool, of course, is meant to be used for more than food products, for example, if you're applying sealant to an item and find out that you made a mistake, the seal breaker is capable of removing the mistake. The Seal Breaker is also a great learning tool for virtual meetings because of it's simple shape, the Seal Breaker is an easy object to hold to a camera for demonstrations and its shape is easier to see even if you have a low quality camera. 1. In this project, the main issue I've had was figuring out how I to work with Autodesk Inventor to figure out how to design certain aspects of my tool before I even redesigned it to it's current form. Autodesk Inventor's controls were confusing at first, but after watching a few videos online, the controls soon became more easily became understandable. 2. If I could redesign the Seal Breaker V2 I would add a thin edge sticking out from the back to cut/scrape sealant more easily than you could've with the current front of it. 3. The process of 3D printing strengthens this tool because the price of the materials alone are cheaper and safer than purchasing a seal breaker in a store. This tool might not be so strong with its 3d printed materials, but it won't be necessary for it to be stronger since it is only meant to remove seals.
