In recent times, the design of gears using computer has become a highly complicated and comprehensive subject. This study therefore presents a new method of how the spur gear can be designed and detailed with a computer aided design using visual basic.net. Previously, emphasis was laid on primitive and probabilistic design processes which resulted in a high operations cost and prolonged time. A reliability model of the spur gear when designed using computer aided performed repetitive and routine tasks involved in design drawings, review and evaluation, produces accurate and efficient design drawings as a result of interactive computer graphics and provides substantial savings in time and cost of production.
