Internal Gear Generator

Generate internal ring gears and matching pinions for laser-cut mechanisms, CNC prototypes, 3D printing, gearbox models, and maker experiments.

What you can make

  • Internal ring gears with matching pinions.
  • Gearbox models, teaching aids, and compact mechanical layouts.
  • Fabrication-ready parts for laser cutting, CNC routing, or 3D printing.

Export formats

  • SVG for laser-cut internal gear and pinion layouts.
  • DXF for CNC routing, CAD, and fabrication planning.
  • STL for supported 3D printable internal gear settings.

How it works

  1. 1Choose internal gear mode and set ring teeth, pinion teeth, and module.
  2. 2Adjust bore, wall, mount holes, labels, and fabrication settings.
  3. 3Export SVG, DXF, or STL when the layout is valid for your project.

FAQ

What is an internal gear?

An internal gear has teeth on the inside of a ring, so a matching pinion can mesh inside the ring.

Can I create the matching pinion?

Yes. The internal gear generator is built around ring gear and pinion layouts.

Can I use it for CNC or laser cutting?

Yes. Export SVG or DXF files for 2D fabrication, then test the fit in your chosen material.
