The study, Development of Motorized Form Bender, aims to develop a motorized form bender. This machine is used to bend three kinds of metal flat bar, round bar, and square bar into a circular shape. The size of the motorized form bender is movable compared to other bending machines. And it is easy to carry and use at any time and any place. It eases human effort and does not require skilled workers to operate the machine. We are developing a motorized form bender with the use of a gear motor, bearing, sprocket, and chain to support the gear motor. This motorized form bender works forward and reverse motion. This motorized form bender can bend up to 15mm. Due to its lightweight and the fact that it is easy to carry it can be used at small workshops, welding shops, fabrication shops, etc. A bending machine is a common machine in a machine shop that is used to bend metal. The test result showed that our prototype is capable of shaping and curving according to its design, researchers also tested if the gear motor will last until the operation is finished. The motorized form bender was evaluated by 20 evaluators composed of faculty member, welding fabricator and machine shop workers. The motorized form bender was rated with an overall mean of 4.48 with a descriptive rating of “Very Acceptable”. This signifies that our prototype is useful to all workers and faculty members.
