Hi Wakeboard,
Yes there are machines available. If you want to bend sheet metal, the machine is called a brake.
For heavier sections, a hydraulic press would commonly be used. This requires a male/female die combination to create an accurate shape. Lots of guys build their own hydraulic press frames, using an inexpensive hydraulic jack to create the needed force.
