FROM PRINTER TO BENDER: A Rapid Prototyping Alternative to 3-D Printing

  By Ben Rubin   12.4.13



With 3-D printing exploding beyond the DIY community (and busy with contradictory pursuits to print guns and organs), it's with some relief that I stumbled onto a project that hopes to reinvent desktop manufacturing for the rest of us.

Pensa, a design and invention firm out of Brooklyn, NY, is hoping to change the game of rapid prototyping.  They have surpassed their $100,000 goal on Kickstarter with their DIWire project; a desktop wire-bender that 'transforms drawn curves into bent wire that can be assembled to make just about anything'.  The bender device is paired with an application that allows users to drag-n-drop SVG files and automate bending on endless lengths of wire.  The bender accepts a range of common wire materials (including plastic, copper, aluminum, steel, and brass) and comes with clever accessories like assembly clips to facilitate the prototyping process.
