ABSTRACT
Bevel gear have teeth cut on conical blanks. The gear pair is used to connect non-parallel intersecting shafts for motor transmissions, differential drives and mechanical instruments. Bevel gears are used for transmission of power between axles in rear wheel of vehicle will be modelled by using solid works. Shaping, Casting and Grinding are the traditional methods of manufacturing of bevel gear which are time consuming, and increased in production cost.

To overcome this, new method such as rapid prototyping method of manufacturing is used which offers the potential for faster and more cost-effective manufacturing with ability to customize the design and improve performance.

In this project, the Bevel Gear is designed using solid works by ensuring that the gear's dimensions and tolerances are appropriate for the 3D printing process being used and

then the Bevel Gear is printed using the 3D- Printer.
