*2.2. Manufacturing*

Once the geometry was obtained and analyzed, the machining strategies were designed. In this case, the CAM software used was NX10 from Siemens.

### *2.3. Equipment—Multiprocess Machine*

A multi-process machine ZVH38/L1600 (Figure 1) from Ibarmia (Azkoitia, Spain) was used for gear manufacturing. The machine includes turning and milling capabilities by the integration of 3 linear axes (X, Y, Z) in a mobile column and 2 rotary axes, one of them in a rotating head (B) and the other in a rotary table (C). The main advantage of multitasking machines is that the number of machines and setups required for workpiece manufacturing are reduced and often limited to one.
