GENERATING CURVED TEETH IN CAD SOFTWARE

Dinel POPA, Claudia Mari POPA, Sorin MARCU

Abstract


The paper presents the stages of generating solids that materialize gears with curved teeth and finally the gears obtained. These steps are performed in AutoCAD with AutoLisp function (that run in AutoCAD) and presupposes the existence of a generating tool and a semi-finished product. The way of obtaining the teeth is similar to the industrial processes of obtaining the gears or of the tools that process the gears. The algorithms presented and the AutoLisp functions that accompany them, allow to obtain gears with straight or curved teeth, regardless of the shape of the tooth or the appearance of the semi-finished product.
