This tool allows you to create the wheel (internal or external) or rack tool from an existing wheel. It is calculated by the tool's relative footprint.


 

Selection of the tool that will generate the gear or rack. This can be a company's own tool (see explanations below).

There are only 2 parameters to set:

  • Precision: this corresponds to the angle between each print (the lower the number, the higher the precision).
  • The operating clearance is used to define the clearance between the tool and the gear created (note that the value is in µm).

Selection of the component to be created by indicating the external diameter, the number of teeth and the diameter of the axis.

 

  It is recommended to enable the "Adjusted smoothing" option for a more elegant result. Fillet options and tracing precision are also set in this section.
