==========

Gear It Done! is a tool to design gear trains. Exports to DXF and STL for lasercuting, machining, or 3D printing.

Project Goal(s)

---------------

This is my current gear train design pipeline:

    Excel -> Gear Generator -> DXF -> AutoCAD -> Inkscape -> DXF (for laser cutting)

                                  \-> OpenSCAD -> STL (for animating in Blender)

                                  

This is my goal:

    JSON Parameters -> 3D Preview -> laser ready DXF and STL models

I will accomplish this by using Node and CoffeeScript and all the goodness, and libraries like:

* [OpenJsCad](https://github.com/joostn/OpenJsCad) by Joost Nieuwenhuijse for computational area / solid geometry

* [gearUtils](http://www.arc.id.au/GearDrawing.html) by Dr A.R.Collins for better looking involute gears

Usage

-----

Ha ha. Let me invent it first, then I'll document how it works. :smile:
