N2 - Virtual Reality methods have seamlessly accelerated rapid prototyping of new product designs in various industries due to its flexibility in design modification, re-configurability, and non-destructive testing potential. There are various studies on the application of VR for 3D and 4D visualization of conceptual environment. However, limited research exists on its application in rapid prototyping of gears. The study seeks to evaluate various VR simulation methods applied within the product research and development industry for the design of gears that are manufactured using additive layer manufacturing processes, through a research based fact-finding approach. Based on the findings, the paper seeks to share these outcomes as a means of providing information that will guide both institution based researchers and product development specialist in rightly selecting proven Virtual Reality techniques that will guarantee optimal ramp up time for rapid prototyping unique gear designs, putting into consideration human factors.
