This work addresses the need to optimize the production of stamped wax sheets for beekeeping in the province of Bolivar, Guaranda city. Given the technological limitations and the high cost of importing machinery, a prototype of a semi-automatic beeswax stamping roller machine was designed and built. The use of engineering software made it possible to simulate the operation of the prototype to optimize its performance before its physical fabrication. As a result, a system was achieved that not only significantly improves the wax stamping process, but also promises economic benefits for local beekeepers, representing a substantial innovation in the industry. This prototype stands out for its improved efficiency in the production of foils, as well as for its design, which contemplates the use of a new system for the production of wax.
