Crank Arm Design and Fabrication Tool

Our innovative tool is designed to assist you in creating crank arms with precise dimensions, utilizing either a leather cutter or a 3D printer. With our application, you can easily calculate and generate detailed 2D SVG files or 3D STL models of crank arms based on your specified parameters.

Key Features

• Automatic Calculation: Our tool automatically calculates the size of the balance weight required to ensure optimal performance. It takes into account the outside diameter of the balance weight, the mass on the crank pin side, and the density of the crank arm material.
• Customizable Parameters:
  • Crankshaft diameter (mm)
  • Crank pin diameter (mm)
  • Crank arm length (mm)
  • Crank arm width (mm)
  • Balance weight radius (mm)
  • Thickness (mm)
• Seamless Integration and Sharing: The generated data can be displayed within our application and effortlessly shared with other applications. It is fully compatible with 3D printers and PCs, enabling you to bring your designs to life with ease.
• Visual Reference: For size comparison, the design includes an underlaying square representing a credit card.

How It Works

1. Input Parameters: Enter the required dimensions and specifications into our user-friendly interface.
2. Generate Models: The tool calculates and creates the corresponding SVG or STL files.
3. Review and Share: View the generated data within the application and share it with your 3D printer or other connected devices.
