Abstract


Additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, is used globally with big leaps being taken in various important fields, for example in mechanical and mechatronics engineering areas. The purpose of the article consists in the analysis of additive manufacturing methods of gears, as well as their application for obtaining gear samples, which will be analysed both dimensionally and visually. Different additive technologies were compared with the aim of choosing the optimal one so that during manufacturing the environment is not polluted, the 3D printer does not have any loss of toxic material (which is recyclable), but at the same time we want to obtain a transmission that is durable over time and allows for fast manufacturing process with relatively low costs
