Nowadays, there is a particular need to develop sustainable and reproducible natural materials to address environmental issues. In this research, we devised a method to extract high-quality and high-precision bamboo fiber using a machining center. Using hot pressing, we produced bevel bamboo gears, which are mechanical elements with complex shapes. This paper describes the characteristics of bamboo fiber gears investigated by experiments. In this study, as a result of investigating the effect of changing cutting and molding conditions for fiber extraction on the parameter and strength of black color, it can be quantified by the black parameter P, fiber length Z, heating temperature T, heating time th. In addition, when the fiber length by the finite element method is about a half module as in the case of spur gears, it was found that the maximum bending strength of the teeth was exhibited by the compatibility of the fiber reinforcement effect and forming.
