Executive Summary: This study aspires to have an easy and accurate source of work for slicing a pie. This war conducted in order to cut pies out using an electro-pneumatically operated machine. Specifically, the mechanical properties of the different treatments were evaluated in terms of functionality, reliability, usefulness and safety maintenance. In order to accomplish the accurately sliced pie, there was a collection of raw materials, manufacturing of machine for the slicing process and the testing and gathering data. The results from the test and statistical analysis showed that the developed machine is reliable. Usability and reliability got the highest rating. Based on the findings of the study, the machine developed is accurate. The machine can also be improved by having a clip, so that the pie will not improve when slicing. The machine can also be improved by raising its functionality. The future researchers can use different techniques in slicing the pie more accurately. They can also adjust the speed in order for it to be more efficient.
