Does anyone know if this material will hold up in a mechanical application? Say, for gearing and such?

If you mean the blue stuff, I would think it could work for a light demonstration, but it would be too soft surfaced and brittle for any long life especially under load.

Casting them in something tougher might be an option. Smooth-on's website shows cast resin gears
