Pensa Labs D.I.Wire

What is a D.I.Wire?
The D.I.Wire is a small machine that bends wire into elaborate shapes by following simple vector drawings. The bent wires can then be assembled to make just about any 3D structure.

Ease of Use
First design the shape you require in any design software that outputs .svg files. Next, drag and drop the file into the Wireware software provided. (Alternatively, script mode can be used to create complex programs using conversational script or G-code.) Wireware tells you the length of the wire needed and detects any points in the image that the machine cannot bend. Simply connect the D.I.Wire to your computer with a USB cable, load the wire and then press “Bend” in the software to bend your shape in just minutes.

How Does It Work?
Wire is loaded into one end, where a series of feeding rollers ensure it’s straight before sending it to a bending head. The machine is capable of forming curves and angles up to 135° while rotating the wire in any direction, giving users freedom in their designs.

Creative Designs
Individual bent wires can be soldered or clipped together to create fantastic 3D structures. D.I.Wire provides endless possibilities for Art and Design students.

Software
Includes D.I.Wire Wireware 2.0 Software. Imports SVG files to output to the wire bender.
