Introduction
Half the World Still Uses Solid Fuels for Home Cooking and Heating Indoor smoke from cook stoves leads to 1.5 million premature deaths
each year.
Continued demand by governments and non-governmental
developing countries.

Sustainability: Utilise one material for all component parts. Ash gauze should be easily replaceable within minutes. 100% of raw materials used should be sourced from manufacturing location. 98% of material re-cycled.

Material selection
Granta CES software was used to select an optimal
Selection criteria:
Mild steel was selected for the stove design Mild steel is a carbon steel typically with a maximum of 0.25% Carbon and 0.4%-0.7% manganese, 0.1%-0.5% Silicon and some + traces of other elements such as phosphorous, it may also contain lead (free cutting mild steel) or sculpture (again free cutting steel called re-sulphurised mild steel)

Manufacture
Machine selection criteria
The cutting area of the machine should be large enough to cut stove parts. The cutting speed should be high enough to meet the expected production rate per day. Should cut evenly and cut narrow gaps with low distortion and very little deformation.
YM-1212 multifunction digital laser cutting machine was selected, and would be used in the fabrication of the MIC-Stove .
It is a computer numerical control (CNC) machine that emits a high powered laser beam to cut metal. Has a power rating of 1000 - 4000 W The size of its cutting area is 2440 x 1220mm.
Manufacturing process
The manufacturing process of the MIC-Stove is simplified into four steps:

Conclusion
The MIC-Stove is designed to be cheap, easy to use,
Use of Mild steel and selection of China as manufacturing location enabled its price (16.95)to be about three times
