Volex Labs / Forge / Bevel gear generator — text to CAD.

Bevel gear generator — text to CAD.

Describe the bevel gear — module, number of teeth, shaft angle, face width and bore — and Volex Forge builds the conical tooth geometry and returns a manufacturable STEP or STL for CNC or 3D printing.

No conical-geometry maths, no CAD seat. The pitch cone and tooth form are generated to standard proportions and checked before download, so the pair meshes at the right angle.

Frequently asked

Does it generate a matching pair?

Describe both gears (or the ratio and shaft angle) and Forge sizes the mating pinion and gear so their pitch cones meet correctly.

Straight or spiral bevel?

Forge generates straight bevel teeth, which cover the majority of low- to medium-speed power-transmission uses and are simplest to manufacture.

What does a bevel gear cost?

Forge is free to try; individual parts are from £2.99. You only pay when you download a file you want.

Which format should I use?

STEP for CAD and CNC, STL for 3D printing. Bevel teeth are 3D conical geometry, so DXF is not used for these.
