The research related to the use of coordinate measuring methods for assessing the performance properties of polymer gears has been performed. Presented work is a continuation of work on the accuracy of geometry of gears manufactured using Rapid Prototyping Methods (RP) [1]. Deformations were assessed for research models made with 3-Dimensional Printing methods PolyJet, FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) and SLS (Selective Laser Sintering), especially for geometric deviations and shrinkage. Geometrical accuracy verification of models was performed using the ATOS II Triple Scan touchless optical system.
