Involute gears (Free!)

Other for Rhino v3 and V4

This is a RhinoScript (for V3 or V4) that creates involute gear tooth profiles (including bevel gears) around any circle in any viewport and any orientation. It will treat the circle you pick as the 'pitch circle' and it will draw the gear teeth around it. You can specify the gear either by number of teeth, or by its module. To install: 1. Save the 'GearGen.rvb' file to a directory 2. Create a new alias 'GearGen' with a macro: !_-loadscript "C:\.............\gearGen.rvb" (Replace the dots with your own directory path) 3. Type 'geargen' (or just 'ge') to run. (Requires RhinoScript 20050207 or higher for Rhino V3) (Requires RhinoScript 20060906 for Rhino V4) Script Updated (Sep/14/2006) Additional scripts by ThomasAn.

Pity its not in the main Rhino package or the default plug-ins, it should be. Was this review helpful to you?

We have always struggled with teeth and gears as it is very time consuming to create the teeth with pressure angles correctly. This script will solve the problem for us.
