Precise wire bending CNC machine for wires at 1mm and less in diameter.
Current version: 1.1 (2019-09-29)
Goal:
- build a simple wire bending machine that is easily createable by other makers
- capable of making sharp bends with millimeter precision
- most of the parts 3D printed
- using common parts and fasteners easily and cheaply purchasable
Use:
- jewelry making, electronics, art ...
