  • Automatic metal wire bending (AMWB) apparatus to manufacture shape conforming lattice structure with continuum design for manufacturable topology
    Patent number: 11752534
    Abstract: Provided herein are an apparatus and method for bending wire. The apparatus includes a feeding system with at least one feed roller pair and a controllable feed motor, at least one control platform axis, and at least one bending unit. The method includes i) providing the apparatus of claim 1; ii) advancing a wire with the feeding system; iii) engaging the wire with the at least one bending unit; iv) bending the wire with the at least one bending unit; v) retracting the at least one bending unit; and optionally repeating steps ii-v to form a desired structure. Also provided herein are algorithms for feeding, engaging, and bending the wire.
