CyberCut is a web-based system for rapid designing and virtual prototyping of gears. By subtracting from a solid brick of chosen materials like plastic, metal, or wood, it offers cost-effective production with excellent integrity. The gear size is around 2.221 inches across and 0.250 inches deep, with setup costs ranging from $50-$80/hour and part costs between $16.00 and $23.00. Time-wise, it takes under 30 minutes to create a single gear using CyberCut.

CyberCut • What is Cybercut? • System for rapid designing and virtual prototyping • Web based • You create a 2d or 3d object through your browser and then submit it to a manufacturing facility that creates it. • Reduces processing times and costs.
How does it work? • Works by subtracting from a solid brick of chosen material • Plastic • Metal • Wood • Offers excellent integrity • Specialized form of CNC • Free form surfaces are harder to machine • Everything starts from a six-sided block - only six faces to cut into
Cost • The Gear is • 2.221 inches across • 0.250 inches deep • The Cost comes out to be • Set up cost: $50-$80/hour • Actual Part: $16.00 ~ $23.00 • From Berkeley website • Time: • 50-80 hour setup time (probably not necessary) • <30 minutes/gear
