Rack and Pinion Generator
Create rack and pinion mechanisms for laser cutting, CNC routing, woodworking, 3D printing, robotics prototypes, and linear motion projects.
What you can make
- Rack and pinion mechanisms for slides, jigs, and educational models.
- Laser-cut or CNC-routed linear motion parts.
- 3D printable rack and pinion prototypes with matching tooth sizing.
Export formats
- SVG for laser cutting and vector layout.
- DXF for CNC routing and CAD/CAM preparation.
- STL for supported 3D printable rack and pinion output.
How it works
- 1Open the rack and pinion generator and set the pinion teeth and module.
- 2Adjust rack length, bore, guides, labels, and material or thickness settings.
- 3Export the format you need and verify motion with a small test part.
FAQ
Can I customize rack length?
Yes. The rack and pinion generator includes controls for rack teeth, pinion teeth, module, bore, and related layout settings.
Is this for linear motion?
Yes. Rack and pinion designs are useful when rotary motion needs to drive a straight sliding rack.
Can I export SVG, DXF, and STL?
The app supports SVG, DXF, and STL exports for rack and pinion designs that pass its current validation.
