Gears can be cut on dedicated gear machines (hobbing, shaping, grinding) for volume and top quality, or produced on a 4/5-axis machining center with the right software for prototypes and low volume. High-volume, high-precision gear work belongs on gear-specific equipment; mixed shops often use a multi-axis mill.
