Paper presents project of experimental gearbox design and production with application of Rapid Prototyping technology realized by students and workers of Faculty of Manufacturing Technologies in Presov, Slovakia. In frame of gearbox design there was model with four gears realized together with its control mechanism. Production of gearbox was connected with realization of produced parts dimensional issues and final gearbox assembly. I. INTRODUCTION Gearbox provides speed and torque conversions from a rotating power source to another device using gear ratios. The most common use is in motor vehicles, where the gearbox adapts the output of the internal combustion engine to the drive wheels. Such engines need to operate at a relatively high rotational speed, which is inappropriate for starting, stopping, and slower travel. The gearbox reduces the higher engine speed to the slower wheel speed, increasing torque in the process. Gearboxes are also used on pedal bicycles, fixed machines, and anywhere else where rotational speed and torque needs to be adapted. Often, a gearbox will have multiple gear ratios (or simply "gears"), with the ability to switch between them as speed varies. This switching may be done manually (by the operator), or automatically. Directional (forward and reverse) control may also be provided. Single-ratio transmissions also exist, which simply change the speed and torque (and sometimes direction) of motor output. In practice gearboxes can be produced from many different materials but mostly there are made of metallic materials. For production of experimental gearbox prototype it is advantageous to use Rapid Prototyping (RP) technology. The primary use of rapid prototyping is quick production of prototypes for communication and testing purposes (5).
