Arduino-Powered Wire Bending Machine
So cool -- out of curiosity, is this emulating the actions of a pre-existing, "professional" machine or is the concept brand new?

There are wire and pipe bending machines that do this on a larger (and probably smaller) scale. They are however expensive and I doubt their tool chain is open source
