Profile shift
Design and manufacturing to keep your designs clear.
Span inspection
Reverse engineer and verify gear geometry quickly with the span measurement.
Share & embed
Share a link or embed a live gearset — free for collaboration.
Planetary geartrains
Sun, planet, and ring in one tool — try ratios without rebuilding CAD.
Time comparisons based on typical manual CAD, spreadsheet, and handbook workflows.
Functional Gear Design, Made Intuitive
Everything you need to move from a blank canvas to production-ready geometry, directly in your browser.
Phase 1
Design
- The Fundamentals: Define your gear geometry with total control over module, pressure angle, profile shift, and backlash.
- Custom Layouts: Build complex geartrains and planetary systems using an intuitive X,Y coordinate grid and angular positioning.
- Reverse Engineering: Input known measurements to solve for missing parameters and recreate obsolete parts with ease.
Phase 2
Validate
- Visualize: Animation controls with interactive play, pause, and reverse to visualize mesh interference and verify rotation.
- Gear Data Reports: Access gear data blocks including diameters, tooth thicknesses, tolerances, and inspection measurements.
- Part Numbers: Assign part numbers and custom descriptions to every gear in your gearset to stay organized.
Phase 3
Execute
- Save: Save geartrains online and reopen the same assembly from any device without rebuilding your layouts.
- Shareable Links: Generate shareable links to send your gear data for collaboration or create an iframe to embed in your website.
- CAD Export: Export optimized DXF and SVG files to import into your CAD software. Start building your parts today.
