Diseño de un guante recolector de chícharo con tecnología de impresión 3D

Abstract

In today's agriculture, the physical effort required for planting and harvesting represents a significant challenge. Although harvesting technologies are available, their high cost limits their adoption, leading farmers to rely on traditional methods. This involves strenuous manual labor for farmers, resulting in fatigue and difficulty meeting production goals. Crops, such as peas, often suffer losses due to lack of harvest, which affects the economy of farmers. To address this problem, the design of a cutter glove manufactured with 3D printing technology is proposed. The results showed a 21% reduction in harvest time, a 15% decrease in injuries, and a 13% improvement in harvesting high-quality peas.
