The application is based on the parametric modeling approach, which means that it uses parameters, dimensions, features, and relationships to enable design automation and optimization of design and product development processes. Its users are mostly mechanical engineers, designers and manufacturers. It provides solid modeling, assembly modeling, 2D orthographic views, FEA, direct and parametric modeling, sub-divisional and NURBS surface modeling, and tools for mechanical designers. Print Charts, Flip.World, HTML Spirograph.PTC Creo by Parametric Technology Corporation, known as Pro/Engineer is a 3D CAD, CAM, CAE, and associative solid modeling application. Gear Generator How to Draw Perfect Gears (4:23) Update 1.4: TA-DA: Added internal gear support, and the ability of positioning the first gear. Maximum number of teeth increased to 400. The downloaded DXF file can be opened with AutoCad 2013 or newer versions.

The winners are: Opera for the best performance (shame on me, I never use it) and Firefox for the best looking SVG render. Support: about browser compatibility: all new major browsers are supported (i didn't tested IE), but unfortunately Chrome can't render SVG circle correctly. It was a pleasure to code the whole thing, I'm a bit sad it is already done.

As it was done, I couldn't stop, and I added more and more features, and finally I got this tool. I'm working on a hobby project, a scale construction machine, which needed some spur gears, and I quickly made a simple spur gear creator script in Javascript with SVG output. Gears can be animated with various speed to demonstrate working mechanism. In addition it let you compose full gear layouts with connetcted gears to design multiple gears system with control of the input/output ratio and rotation speed. Gear Generator is a tool for creating involute spur gears and download them in DXF or SVG format.
