Abstract

Gears are power transmission components used to transfer power from one shaft to other. Polymer gears find its applications in all the segments of mechanical power transmission system because of its high strength to weigh ratio. They are manufactured using machine cutting technique or by injection moulding which are costly due to mold cost and are more time consuming process. Additive manufacturing technique can be implemented because of its compatibility to produce complex designs and for customized requirements. The literature review shows that 3D printing technology is useful for Product development for fast product delivery. Additive manufacturing the gears will results into product development in short time and at low cost. These types of Gears can be used in any power transmission system and can be manufactured with required load carrying capacity and complex designs. Gear manufactured using additive manufacturing methods will reduce the manufacturing time, easy to make customized gears instantly, reduce noise generated during meshing of gear at high speed, low rate of wear and increase in life of gear.
