    could be interesting but its still a lot of works. do you need someone to help you with the design, building or both?

    step drive and motor, simple PLC with step output/encoder input capabilities, geared electric bending drive... since its only for 3/8" it can be build on a light welded frame and still be rigid enough for tight bending. could you tell me whats the application of the bent tube if possible?

    the radius of bending is big enough to be bent without wiper die and mandrel. a lot easier to design!!!

    honestly how much money do you want to put on a cnc project? if you have hundred of tubes to bend each week with different model it could be a good investement. but be prepared to pay something around 5000-10000 for a cnc bending machine for your application and thats just in part and labour
