Wire bending machines are essential tools used in various industries to shape and form metal wires into specific configurations. These machines can range from simple manual tools to complex, multi-axis computer numerical control (CNC) machines capable of creating intricate 2D and 3D wire forms.

Key features of wire bending machines include their level of automation, programming capabilities, material handling features like feeding and cutting, production speed, and tooling options. Safety features such as guards and emergency stops are also important considerations.
