Bending the Rules: Redefining the Future of Desktop Wire Bending

The D.I.Wire PRO CNC wire bender from Pensa Labs (Brooklyn, NY) offers the kind of power, speed, and precision that professionals never thought possible from a desktop machine. Originally built as a design system for prototyping needs, this next generation D.I.Wire has a patented bend mechanism that delivers smooth, tight radius curves — from fine orthodontic retainer wire to 3/16 in stainless steel parts applicable to jets, cars, home appliances, furniture, robotics and more.

“We learned a lot from users of our original machine and incorporated those lessons into the D.I.Wire PRO,” said Marco Perry, the co-founder of Pensa Labs. “Customers told us that they wanted to be able to perform smooth, 180 deg bends in a wider variety of materials and diameters. This machine satisfies this need and provides professional-level precision and accuracy in the process.”

D.I.Wire PRO bends wire diameters ranging from 0.028 in to 0.1875 in, making it a versatile tool for rapid prototyping and short-run production. Fully customizable but affordable, the D.I.Wire PRO bridges the gap between time-consuming hand-bending and expensive large-scale, mass production CNC wire bending.

“Now, users don’t have to stop and setup a full-fledged production machine to bend out a few parts,” said Perry. “D.I.Wire PRO really opens up a world of new possibilities for fab shops, especially when combining it with other digital fabrication equipment.”

D.I.Wire PRO measures 16.25 in x 11.25 in x 13 in (41 cm x 29 cm x 33 cm) and bends 0.028 in to 0.1875 in stainless steel (and more) up to 180 deg. The software allows for direct control from a machine level up via a GUI or G-code, including custom calibrations and compensation controls. The SVG file interpreter allows you to adjust the scale and resolution of your bends, or tweak your shape using an interactive interface. Connect it to your computer with a USB, load the wire, and bend your shape in under a minute.
