Our focus on the entire user experience, from the software interface, to the machine design, to accessories needed for assisting assembly, provides seamless workflow. This changes the dynamics of local, mass customized, prototype and just-in-time manufacturing. By being transportable, accessible and affordable, the DIWire fills the market gap between time-consuming hand-bending and large scale, mass production CNC wire bending, which is too expensive for custom, short-run productions. Additionally, the build volume is limited only by the length of the wire. The DIWire can bend various metals and plastics, allowing for output to be used as the final product. However, nothing exists that convert lines into bent rod, wire or tubular forms quickly, accurately, and repeatably. To date, desktop manufacturing has focused on 3D printers outputting plastic volumes and laser cutters cutting 2D planes. A new archetype for desktop manufacturing and rapid prototyping, the DIWire transforms drawn curves into bent wire that can be assembled to make just about anything. The DIWire Bender is the first desktop CNC wire bender.
