Gear Generator 2 — Beta

Which (3D printing, laser cutting, CNC) will you use?

For desktop fabrication enthusiasts, the ability to generate a gear, customize its bore diameter (to fit a specific stepper motor shaft), add a keyway, and export it directly as an STL file drastically reduces design time. It cuts out the middleman software, moving a concept from browser to 3D printer bed in minutes. Robotics and Kinetic Art

: The tool automatically calculates center distances based on module and tooth count, but you can manually adjust positions by dragging gears. Pay attention to the visual feedback—gears that do not mesh properly will overlap or leave visible gaps. gear generator 2 beta

To build a multi-gear system:

The tool opens with a base gear, giving you a functional starting point.

The new layout is cleaner, reducing clutter while providing more precise control over individual gear properties. Which (3D printing, laser cutting, CNC) will you use

Unlike its predecessor, which focused primarily on basic spur gears, Gear Generator 2 Beta significantly expands the types of gears you can create. The most notable addition is the ability to generate (epicyclic gear systems). This allows you to design and simulate the complex, compact transmission systems found in automatic car transmissions and other industrial equipment.

Snap gears together instantly; the engine automatically calculates the correct center-to-center distance based on module or diametral pitch. Robotics and Kinetic Art : The tool automatically

: The beta provides expanded animation tools, including Start/Stop, Freeze, and Reset functions. Users can also precisely set the RPM of a selected gear using keyboard shortcuts like Shift + Enter .
