GearTrax isn't just for geometry; it calculates mass and inertia. The 2023 update syncs with the real world: geartrax 2023 for solidworks updated
This bridges the gap between design and validation, reducing the need to jump back and forth between SolidWorks and Excel sheets. GearTrax 2023 by Camnetics, Inc
For professional gear design, GearTrax 2023 remains the superior choice—especially after this update. Direct CNC Code Export (G-code): You can now
Seamless Integration with SolidWorks
- Direct CNC Code Export (G-code): You can now export tooth profiles as 2D DXF files with automatic toolpath roughing contours for wire EDM or laser cutting.
- Additive Manufacturing (STL/3MF) Enhancements: For 3D printed gears, the new "low-stress fillet" algorithm automatically adds root fillets that reduce stress concentration—a notorious failing point in printed gears.
- 5-Axis Positioning Output: For bevel gears, the software now calculates the machine rotation angles for 5-axis machining.
