To provide a molded gear which can secure the precision of a tooth profile, and can sufficiently secure the strength of teeth.
Saved portions 11 smoothly recessed from the inner periphery of a rim 3 toward the tool tip are formed on the inner peripheral side of the rim 3 at the portions where the teeth 10 are to be formed. Therefore, a difference in the thickness between the portions having the teeth 10 formed thereon and the portions having no teeth thereon (the portions of bottom lands 12) is reduced, and as a result, the difference of the cooling and solidifying time between the portions having the teeth 10 formed thereon and other portions can be reduced. As a result, the generation of shrinkages and voids can be prevented to secure the strength sufficient for transmitting the power, and also the tooth profile can be accurately formed.
