CAD drawing of cogwheels inspired by an image of gears inside an antique watch.
In Rhinoceros CAD, the array function is a useful tool to create elements repeated in equal distances whether in a line, square or circle. When visualising cogwheels, the polar array process is best used, as the spokes of the cogwheel are copied and repeated round the axis.
Detail images of the cogwheels showing connecting parts, rubies, and assorted cogs in brass, copper and aluminium.
