We just fixed downloads: every STL now comes straight from fast, reliable storage, saved under its own name, we're making 10,000 STL files and dozens of new tools, so things might break. We'll fix them ASAP.

PLY Gear Generator StarForge 3D Modeling Software

Replacement for a Stripped Gear

Engineers checking a printed gear against a 3D scan in CloudCompare can export the design from PLY Gear Generator, since PLY is the Stanford format scanners and point cloud tools speak. Module, teeth and bore are typed, a mate added, and the pair turns on screen at the exact centre distance with outlines checked never to cross. Every involute spur gear has a 20 degree pressure angle and 0.15 mm backlash, so any two of one module mesh. StarForge 3D Modeling Software also saves a 3D Print STL File for 3D printing a stripped gear's replacement.
