Instantly set the RPM of the selected gear for faster simulation tuning.
Plastic expands slightly when extruded. If you export a 5mm shaft hole, your printed part may measure closer to 4.8mm. Test print a single gear first to calibrate your printer’s dimensional accuracy.
The Beta version introduces several highly requested features that bridge the gap between hobbyist toolsets and professional engineering software. Advanced Gear Typologies

4.5/5 (minus half a point for the occasional STEP export glitch, but full marks for ambition and accessibility).
, the Great Clock groaned back to life. The new gear, glowing with a faint blue residual heat, took the strain of ten thousand tons.
In the world of mechanical design and 3D modeling, the humble gear is a foundational element. Whether you're designing a complex clockwork mechanism, a robotics project, or a piece of kinetic art, the need for precise, correctly meshing gears is universal. For years, has been a go-to online tool for engineers, hobbyists, and students alike. Now, its successor— Gear Generator 2 Beta —is building on that legacy, offering an enhanced suite of tools for creating, simulating, and exporting advanced gear systems.

The beta breaks out of standard spur gear limitations. It features dedicated toolsets for: Perfect for planetary gear systems.
Including both standard and non-standard options for planetary setups. 2. Advanced Planetary Gear Setup
A design is only as good as its real-world execution. The Beta provides clean geometric data optimized for modern fabrication tools. Export Format Ideal Manufacturing Method Best Practices Laser Cutting / Hobby Cutters Test print a single gear first to calibrate
: Supports both Metric and Imperial units with real-time scaling.
CNC routers cannot cut perfectly sharp internal corners because of the round profile of the cutting bit. Use the beta's root fillet control to round out the bottom spaces between teeth, matching or exceeding the radius of your smallest endmill. The Future of Browser-Based CAD
