Abstract
The goal of this study is to explore the potential of three different thermoplastic materials used in plastic gearing applications, such as ABS(Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene), PLA (Polylactic acid) and NYLON. The gears are created by the process of 3D printing. In order to find the torque at various speeds, experimental investigations are conducted using a gear test rig.Keywords
