Three-dimensional printing, also known as additive manufacturing, refers to the processes used to synthesize a three-dimensional object in which successive layers of an object are created to create an object under computer control. Objects can create almost any shape or geometry. It is created using digital model data from another electronic data source or 3D model. In this study, the process of reproducing a part is made by pouring epoxy into a mold formed by taking the mold of spur gear wheels produced in a 3D printer with the silicone molding technique. A comparison was made for dimensional accuracy of all parts, Computer Aided Design data, three-dimensional parts and parts reproduced using silicone molds. Successful manufacturing processes have been carried out with experimental studies. It has been determined that the diameter of the top of the tooth can be manufactured with a measurement difference of 2.5% and 5% of the root diameter. It has been demonstrated that it can be used successfully in manufacturing processes and restoration works where measurement tolerances are allowed up to 5% on average. It has been determined that it is the cheapest method applicable to repair operations that can be used once, as it can be realized without the need for professional machinery-equipment and personnel.
