Gear 2D

A 2D gear path that creates just the gear tooth profile as a flat path. Use this with Linear Extrude or Revolve for more control over how the gear is built into a 3D shape.

How to Use

1. Add a Gear 2D from the mechanical tools
2. Configure the tooth parameters
3. Apply Linear Extrude to give it height

Tips

• Use Gear 2D when you need to combine a gear profile with other path operations before extruding
• For a ready-to-use 3D gear, see Gears instead
• The same meshing rules apply: matching Circular Pitch and Pressure Angle for gears that work together
