ABSTRACT:
A method for bending strands of material. The method includes providing a first pair of opposing dies each comprising a first surface corresponding to a first pair of predetermined bends to be formed in a first strand of material, positioning the first strand of material at least partially between the first pair of opposing dies, moving the first pair of opposing dies with respect to one another to impart the first pair of predetermined bends in the first strand of material, providing a second pair of opposing dies each comprising a second surface corresponding to a second pair of predetermined bends to be formed in a second strand of material, positioning the second strand of material at least partially between the second pair of opposing dies, and moving the second pair of opposing dies with respect to one another to impart the second pair of predetermined bends in the second strand of material.
