Designing gears in Fusion 360

Anonymous
Not applicable

Dear all, 

 

I am trying to draw gears on Fusion 360 but am having many problems. I have tried using many 3rd part websites but they do not fit the criteria of the gear I am trying to draw. I have also tried importing the gears from SketchUp (I drew them here first but now want to draw them in Fusion 360). 

 

The first gear I am trying to draw has a diameter of 5 cm, has 18 teeth and a 1 cm hole in the middle. 

The second gear has a diameter of 2 cm, 10 teeth and a 1 cm hole in the middle. 

 

I have attached Sketchup screenshots of the gears:

Any help would be greatly appreciated, whether it be how to import from SketchUp, how to draw the gears directly in Fusion 360, or a 3rd party website that fits the criteria of my gears. 

 

Thank you, 

Sofía

You should find a sample Spur Gear Add-In included with your Fusion 360 install which might satisfy your requirements. If not, you might find one in the Fusion 360 App Store.

 

Hope this helps.

If you need to know how to offset threads for 3D printing then I've created a guide here which you might find useful.
