Thats deffinately a cool process! I work for a company that builds, among many things, mandrel benders, for pipe bending facilities around the world, but this thing is on another level,,,, very impressive. You can bet I'm showing this video to some of our engineers tomorrow.

Wow, I doubt that it will bring down the price of boats but what a great way of bending railing.

I wonder what the repeatability and tolerance level it can hold is. Our suppliers would love to see this.

Way cool!!!

3D CNC tubing bender---made in Japan---can handle 6-60MM or approx 1/4in to 2 3/8in diameter tubing---really neat the wave of the future is here now!!!

ED-actually there are several different companies making this same kind of machinery some can bend up to over 3 inches dia using pressures over 12000 pounds---its out there but very sophisticated and did I say EXPENSIVE??? like easily over a MILLION dollars per machine and up !!!!!---FED387

I checked with co-workers who had been to our supplier (Aurora Cat), and they said that IS what they use. May not be the same brand, but that is it and their repeatablility is 99.9%. The level of accuracy is amazing, I know, I check them daily for accuracy.
