From an operational perspective, GearTrax’s reporting and analytics tools helped convert transactional records into actionable insights. Managers could track utilization rates, identify underused or overburdened assets, and forecast replacement needs. These analytics supported more strategic decisions—optimizing capital expenditure, reallocating tools to high-demand projects, and justifying investments in new equipment. For many small teams, that visibility translated directly into cost savings and smoother project execution.
The 2021 version fully supported and configuration linking , meaning:
Manual modeling of gear teeth—especially true involute profiles—is time-consuming and prone to geometric errors. GearTrax reduces this process from hours to seconds by allowing users to simply input nomenclature (e.g., number of teeth, diametral pitch, face width) and clicking "create". Software FAQ - Camnetics
Developed by Camnetics, Inc.—a SOLIDWORKS Solution Partner since 1998—GearTrax 2021 serves as a specialized CAD plugin that directly integrates into major platforms like SOLIDWORKS, Solid Edge, and Autodesk Inventor. It is an object-oriented program designed to augment existing CAD systems, creating solid models of drive components in seconds rather than hours or days. geartrax 2021
GearTrax 2021 has a wide range of applications across various industries, including:
If you’re designing functional gears for manufacturing (not just visualization), GearTrax 2021 was a powerful, niche tool that filled SOLIDWORKS’ biggest geometric gap — and remains in use on many engineering workstations today.
: Supports spur, helical, bevel, and worm gears, as well as involute splines, timing belt pulleys, and chain sprockets. For many small teams, that visibility translated directly
: Simplifies complex worm and worm gear configurations with user-controlled leads.
is a specialized design tool used to create accurate 3D models of drive components like gears, splines, and pulleys. Developed by Camnetics, Inc. , it functions as an add-on for major CAD platforms—including SOLIDWORKS , Autodesk Inventor , and Solid Edge —or as a standalone program. Key Features & Capabilities
