Gear Generator 2 Beta Jun 2026

Standardized metrics for sizing gear teeth.

Gear Generator 2 Beta operates on a subscription basis rather than a one-time purchase model. Prices are as follows:

As of June 2026, designing precise involute spur gears,, rack and pinions, and complex gear trains for engineering projects, 3D printing, or hobbyist robotics has become increasingly accessible. geargenerator.com/beta/ represents a significant step forward in web-based CAD tools, refining the popular original spur gear design interface with enhanced simulation capabilities, superior export options, and a more intuitive, user-friendly layout.

Designing precise gears is a cornerstone of mechanical engineering, 3D printing, and robotics. While traditional Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software can be cumbersome for calculating complex involute curves, dedicated gear generators simplify the process. represents the next evolution in web-based and standalone gear design tools.

Gear Generator 2 Beta is an advanced web-based application designed to create —the most common type of gear used to transmit motion between parallel shafts. It allows users to generate, simulate, and download DXF or SVG files for manufacturing. The tool is designed for: Engineers seeking quick, accurate tooth profiles. 3D Printing Enthusiasts creating custom gearboxes. Robotics Makers developing specialized powertrains.

Users can set the RPM (Revolutions Per Minute) of individual gears. Standardized metrics for sizing gear teeth

Select the secondary gear and use the compound option to attach a smaller 12-tooth gear directly to its center. This creates a dual-layer gear moving at the same rotational speed. Step 4: Finalize the Train

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

Accuracy is critical when designing parts for CNC machining or 3D printing. Gear Generator 2 Beta upgrades its mathematical engine to provide deeper control over industrial standards. geargenerator

Exporting geometry is cleaner in the Beta version. It features optimized vector outputs that drastically reduce node counts. This results in:

The Beta platform introduces several refined features designed to make gear design more intuitive:
