Abstract

Cassava chips are a type of snack that is widely known in the community. There are at least two types of cassava chips. It can be distinguished from the shape of the pieces and based on the stages of the processing process. The first is cassava chips which are very commonly known in the community, which are made by cut raw cassava (that has been peeled and washed) across the axis of the cassava, with the end result being circular pieces. And the second, manggleng cassava chips which made by cut steaming cassava with the cutting direction parallel to the axis of the cassava. The final result is a rectangular cut. For the process of making the first type of cassava chips, tools/machines have been made to speed up the cutting process. Meanwhile, for the type of manggleng cassava chips, there are no tools/machines to speed up or simplify the process of cutting this types of cassava chips. In shape, cassava is shaped close to a cylinder. This design aims is to make a design concept of cutting tool with a half-cylindrical cutting object, with the cutting direction is parallel to the cylinder axis. The tool design stage begins with determining the purpose of designing and setting up the specifications of the raw materials and the desired cutting results including the size and thickness of the cutting results. Then proceed with the search for alternative cutting concepts, concept selection and tool design, making design documents (2D drawing), and making design models (3D drawing).
