For those needing specialized parts, alternatives like STLGears offer free basic generation, while more complex workflows often involve importing these 2D profiles into tools like or SolidWorks for 3D modeling.

: Users find it highly effective for visualizing filter responses and complex mechanical interactions during the design phase.

The beta will run for six weeks. We are specifically watching for crash reports when generating 200+ tooth gears and performance on mobile devices (because we know you check your prints from the couch).

Gear Generator 2 Beta is a powerful software tool that's poised to revolutionize the world of 3D modeling. With its advanced algorithms, user-friendly interface, and customizable parameters, this software makes it easy for users to create complex gear systems with accuracy and precision. Whether you're an engineer, designer, or maker, Gear Generator 2 Beta is definitely worth checking out.

For those building high-load 3D printed gearboxes, single-helical gears create thrust issues. GG2 Beta introduces a one-click herringbone (double helical) pattern. The generator automatically mirrors the helix angle at the centerline, eliminating the need for a thrust bearing in your print.
