anybody in the mid north (preferable Canada) that can bend a tube from a .STEP or .IGES file? i designed my roll cage in solidworks and would like to find a shop that can bend up the tubes and throw them on a pallet to ship to me.
thanks!

I suspect that the set-up fee, combined with a "one-off" order would make this a non-starter.
Hopefully I am wrong and you find us a source for this kind of work.

Might want to touch base with the guys at rollcagecomponents.com. Not affiliated - I know they're popular in the lemons crowd and one offs might be in their wheelhouse.
It would probably be cheaper to just buy a bender yourself and go to town. That looks like a lot of bends in that pic, 9ish different tubes that need bending, some of them with four bends. I wouldn't be surprised at all if even a cnc bent set needed minor bend adjustments to work in meatspace. In my experience,tubing is tricky to make make match cad, even when dealing with straight tubing.
