Abstract

In this project work, Objective is to use advance manufacturing processes to produces complex Designs using 3d printing methods. Spur gear of Gear box of TATA SUPER ACE is considered in this project work. Theoretical designing of Spur gear is done as per Lewis equation and 3D modelling is done using Solidworks 2015 software. Finite Element analysis software ANSYS 15.0 is used to study the load carrying capacity of Spur Gear. Spur gear is manufactured using 3D printing FDM technique with four different filaments i.e. ABS, Nylon 12, PC and PLA. These types of Gears can be used in any power transmission system and can be manufactured with required load carrying capacity with short time of production and complex designs. Gear can be manufactured using additive manufacturing methods which 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.
