carl12 Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 Sorry for starting a confusing thread.It is like this: I can export a tooth shape of spur gear from assembly and create a spur gear part. But such a provision is not available with bevel gear. I would like to know lf there is a way to model a bevel gear part by exporting tooth shape or any other easy way. Thanks.

psylencer Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I believe this is also half of my problem. Watching thread with interest. At this stage, I've got a feeling you will need to model the gears manually. Please someone correct me if I'm wrong. I really do want to be wrong in this case.

JD Mather Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Gears are normally purchased off the shelf from gear makers who have years and years of experience. It would be unusual for anyone except a gear manufacturer to model the precise detail of a gear. Most use a simplified representation in their designs for visual and BOM based on a vendor part that they will purchase. There are many books on gear design.

psylencer Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 All good if you're not using a 3d printer to produce the prototype. http://www.martinsprocket.com/pdf/gearmanual.pdf and http://books.google.com.au/books?id=kotyj80OMCoC&pg=SA2-PA61&lpg=SA2-PA61&dq=gears+unit+correction&source=bl&ots=upPeDRO-8H&sig=QFPmiyM6zL2mzUPpOhhlj49cZ-Q&sa=X&ei=nz4yUPLkDpGeiAf5poDYBw&ved=0CDYQ6AEwCA#v=onepage&q=gears%20unit%20correction&f=false Two good gear design references.

JD Mather Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 All good if you're not using a 3d printer to produce the prototype... 3D printers are not very precise. I would use the Gear Design Accelerator and then cut some extra from the faces or model from scratch from formulas given in the books and allow extra clearance understanding that 3d printers are not very precise.
