DIWire Bender by PensaLabs
The DIWire is the first desktop wire bender, a new archetype for rapid prototyping, it transforms drawn curves into bent wire that can be assembled to make just about anything.
The DIWire is the first desktop wire bender, a new archetype for rapid prototyping, it transforms drawn curves into bent wire that can be assembled to make just about anything.
The DIWire Bender is a rapid prototype machine that bends metal wire to produce 2D or 3D shapes.Wire unwinds from a spool, passes through a series of wheels that straighten it, and then feeds through the bending head, which moves around in 3 dimensions to create the desired bends and curves. Vector files (e.g., Adobe Illustrator files), text files of commands (e.g., feed 50 mm, bend 90° to right…) provide DIWire’s instructions.It’s essentially a 3D printer that describes lines, instead of volumes, in space, and it could be used for anything from prototypes to customized products.
