Well, blow the dust off of that spare Arduino and keep reading. A few months ago, we let you know that renowned circuit sculptor [Jiří Praus] was working on a precision wire-bending machine to ...

The machine takes a spool of wire and methodically bends it into a paper clip shape. Just like an extruder on a 3D Printer, there is a knurled drive wheel with a spring-loaded bearing pinching the ...

Arduino wire-bending machine *I wish I had one of these gizmo, although (a) the feeder system doesn't actually work and (b) I could probably bend wire by hand 50 times faster and cheaper.

Over a year ago, Pensa Labs caught our attention with its impressive DIWire Bender, a small machine that bends thick wires into elaborate 3D shapes by following simple vector drawings. Since then ...

Pensa, a Brooklyn-based design consultancy, wanted to create a different kind of desktop manufacturing machine that could open up totally new avenues of fabrication by bending wires instead of ...
