Jiri Praus has created an Arduino-powered CNC machine that can precisely bend brass wire, and even features a set of rollers to help straighten the wire before any precision bends are made. This ...
It doesn’t seem as though bending wire would be much of a chore, but when you’re making art from your circuits, it can be everything. Just the right angle in just the right place can make the ...
“We are excited about creating an entirely new form of desktop manufacturing,” said Marco Perry, partner at Pensa. “We believe this open all kinds of new possibilities, especially if you combine the ...
Do you want to make your own springs? Yeah, that’s what we thought. Well, blow the dust off of that spare Arduino and keep reading. A few months ago, we let you know that renowned circuit sculptor ...
But despite their mainstream adoption and the promises of how they'll transform manufacturing, there's one thing that these new machines still suck at. "3-D printers and CNC [lathes] are well suited ...
Many wire-forming machines that process wire rods are large-sized, but despite their small and stylish appearance, they can bend ultra-rugged wires freely and process them in any shape, connect them ...
All I can say is that I am really, really tempted to build one of these little beauties and then spend a happy few weeks bending furiously It’s funny how sometimes you don’t know that you want ...
Thanks to the popularity of 3D printers like the Replicator and the Cube, there are plenty of devices out there for crafting almost any solid object from just a design. But what if you're more ...
There’s still time to register for our March Manufacturing Lunch + Learn, taking place Thursday March 19 at 12PM ET. Join us for two half-hour sessions offering in-depth looks at two vital ...
YouTube channel How To Mechatronics has created a great tutorial with full instructions on how to create your very own Arduino powered 3D wire bending machine. Created using 3D printer parts, a ...
