I am a 4th year student studying in PSG College of technology .

1.Create a New Design:

  • Open Fusion 360 and create a new design.

2.Sketch the Gear Profile:

  • Start a sketch on the XY plane.
  • Use the "Circle" tool to draw a circle for the pitch diameter of your gear.
  • Use the "Line" tool to create a line representing the profile of one tooth.

3.Add Involute Curve:

  • Use the "Spline" tool to draw an involute curve. This curve is essential for the gear tooth shape.
  • Ensure the involute curve is tangent to the tooth profile line.

4.Complete Tooth Profile:

  • Continue the tooth profile using the involute curve and connect it to the base circle.

5.Create the Full Gear Profile:

  • Use the "Circular Pattern" tool to replicate the tooth profile around the pitch circle for a complete gear.

6.Extrude the Gear:

  • Exit the sketch and use the "Extrude" tool to give thickness to your gear. Specify the extrusion distance.

7.Add Fillets:

  • Fillet the edges of the gear teeth and any sharp corners. This helps improve the durability of the gear.

8.Hole for the Shaft:

  • Create a hole at the center for the shaft. Use the "Hole" tool and select the center point.

9.Export or Use Within Fusion 360:

  • You can either export it for manufacturing or use it in assemblies within Fusion 360.


Supplies
