A free browser workshop for generating parametric STL files for gears, screws, boxes, bearings, grilles, and pegboards.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-26 issue.

Field notes

The site exposes mechanical parameters that are often hidden behind conventional CAD workflows, including module, tooth count, pressure angle, profile shift, helix, and bore geometry. Its gear example shows a compact recipe embedded in the STL header, while the listed tools extend beyond gears to printable threads, fitted boxes, bearings, ventilation grilles, and pegboard hardware. Guides on module selection and load-bearing printed gears add explanatory material around the generators.
