A pinion-type shaper cutter is considered as the generating tool for the generation of the gear, and a mathematical model of spur gears with asymmetric involute teeth is given according to the gearing theory. The equations of the profile of the cutter, the principle of coordinate transformation, the theory of differential geometry, and the theory of gearing are applied for describing generating and generated surfaces. Trochoidal envelope traced by cutter during the generating process is also investigated. Trochoidal curves of the cutter depends on the type of tip rounding. Computer graphs of involute spur gears are presented based on the given model. In addition, generation simulation is illustrated. The simulated motion path of the cutter can be used to determine chip geometry far further analysis. The results of this research should be helpful in the design and manufacture of spur gears.
