The ultimate gear generation plugin for SketchUp. Automated alignment, true involute profiles, and built-in 3D printing tolerances.
The ultimate gear generation plugin for SketchUp. Automated alignment, true involute profiles, and built-in 3D printing tolerances.
Smart Auto-Alignment: Just click on two components, and the plugin automatically finds their centers and calculates the exact distance.
True Involute Profiles: Geometrically accurate tooth profiles for smooth mechanical power transmission.
Internal Gears (New!): Easily design planetary gear systems and compact mechanical drives. The plugin calculates and draws perfectly matched ring gears based on your core parameters.
Bevel Gears (New!): Seamlessly transmit rotational power around corners. Automatically calculate the complex geometry and profiles required for intersecting shafts.
3D Printing Ready (Backlash Control): Easily adjust the clearance (backlash) between teeth to account for your 3D printer's tolerances.
Welded Curves: Gear outlines are generated as continuous curves, ensuring smooth faces when adding thickness with the Push/Pull tool.
A simple but incredibly powerful tool for creating perfectly meshing involute gears between two selected axes.
Note: To support development, this free version will open our website in your browser upon the first click per SketchUp session.
Stop wrestling with complex gear formulas and manual alignment. EasyGear is designed specifically for 3D printing enthusiasts and mechanical designers who need precise, perfectly meshed gears without the hassle.
Whether you are building standard side-by-side gear trains, complex planetary assemblies using internal gears, or transferring motion at an angle with bevel gears, EasyGear handles the heavy mathematical lifting.
With its smart placement tool, you don't even need to measure the distance between your shafts. Just click on the two cylindrical components in your model. EasyGear instantly measures the exact center-to-center distance and prompts you for the radius of your first gear, the target module, and your required backlash. The plugin takes care of the rest—automatically calculating the perfect matching gears, drawing true involute profiles, and aligning them flawlessly in 3D space.
Thanks to built-in edge smoothing (welded curves) and custom backlash control, your generated gear faces are instantly ready for the Push/Pull tool and will spin smoothly straight off your FDM or resin 3D printer bed.
