Impossible Gears | Design for Mass Production 3D Printing

In our pursuit of producing a $10 spool of filament, we realized we needed to make some improvements to our filament extrusion line. So we decided to design a 3D printed gear in order to improve the machines belt system.

In this episode of Design for Mass Production 3D Printing, we uncover the high costs of traditionally machined pulleys, crafted from blocks of steel, and how employing 3D printing technology, allows for more cost-efficient and robust gear production.

Learn how to design gears effectively, understanding the benefits of 3D printed gears over their metal counterparts. We demonstrate the versatility and reliability of 3D printed hardware, showcasing its capability to match, and even exceed, the structural integrity of legacy materials.
