The tube bender is cool. Original tube benders like this were cam driven, how can we live without servos in todays world?

The 3D printer is cool, we have a small one at work, it basically uses corn starch. I saw one at Roush industries, it was hugh (enough for an engine block or a front facia). Its definately not cheap to make prototypes, but the printer is better than milling something out of a chunk of aluminum!

WOW that 3d printer is absolutely incredible. I wonder on the bender how thick of tubing it can do?

We have a tube bender like that at work. I haven't messed with it yet since I've only been there 5 months. I'm going to check it out after seeing that.
