To get the most out of Gear Generator 2 Beta, you need to understand the variables that control the geometry. The interface gives you direct control over the core mathematical properties of involute gears:

Use the RPM slider to spin the system. Visually inspect the tooth engagement for smooth roll-off.

: Starting with a 2D profile to build up 3D gears in professional software like Fusion 360 or SolidWorks . Gear Generator 2 beta

The original browser application excelled at basic, single-plane 2D tooth drafting. The modernizes the experience by introducing engine upgrades and an expanded design workspace.

The main advantage of Gear Generator 2 Beta is its : no CAD software required, works on any device with a modern browser, and provides instant visual feedback.

One of the most significant upgrades in this version is the support for . This feature allows two gears to share the same axis/shaft, which is essential for creating compact, multi-stage gear reductions within a small footprint. 2. Live Animation and Simulation

: Rapidly creating 2D profiles for laser-cut wooden gears or 3D-printed plastic components.

You can use the full design, simulation, and animation features for free, but exporting files (DXF or SVG) requires a paid subscription .

Check the status bar. The total gear ratio of your system is automatically calculated and displayed, showing you the exact speed reduction and torque multiplication. Pro-Tips for Digital Fabrication

Defines the size of the teeth. Mating gears must share the same module to mesh properly.
