Introduction
Challenges
Approaches
Laser Cutter
- gear fabrication on a laser Cutter is Common, works well.
3D Printing
- Precision and Tolerance
CNC mill/router
- Sherline examples
- Taig Mill examples
- Bridgeport examples
Hybrid
Hybrid fabrication; RepRapping and then precise tidying of each layer with a milling/routing head is the most promising.
- Direct: We can make the plastic gear directly
- Mold: We can make the molds for filled epoxy gears. See HandmadeGears.
Hobbing
- Timothy Edward's build of a Meccano Gear Making Machine, technically a gear hobber:

- Forrest Higgs proposed this once.
Casting/Mouldmaking
- We can make molds for Filled epoxy
