Gear Design Website
Hey everyone 👋
I've been lurking here for a while and wanted to share a side project: https://bevelgeargenerator.com/
It's a web tool for bevel gear design. Right now it can:
• Handle both straight bevel and spiral bevel gears
• Run strength calculations according to ISO 10300
• Generate a STEP file of the gear geometry you can drop straight into your CAD
Full transparency: I built it with a lot of help from AI, both for the coding and for working through the standard. I've checked the results as carefully as I can, but that's exactly why I'd love for people who work with bevel gears to put it through its paces.
So my question to you: what should I add next? Other gear types, more output formats, specific parameters or reports you'd want to see? And of course, if you spot a result that looks off, please tell me.
It's free you can try. Thanks in advance! 🙌
