Gear transmission can consist of gear wheels that are made of different materials and technologies. The
manufacturing process of gear wheels depends mainly on the required properties and the choice of material. Less
expensive methods can be used for gears where the load is minimal and high precision is not required. Such
methods include, for example, the production of plastic wheels by injection into molds or additive manufacturing.
Today, additive technologies are being used more and more, which, among other things, are also used to produce
gears. In this article, various types of additive technology are described, as well as materials that are often used in
this method of production.
