We live in a world of mass consumerism causing specially fabricated items to be hard to come by or expensive. In the case of bending pipes no one is going to look the same as they would all be used for something different. So unless one has access to a shop or their own tools it can take a lot of time and money to create the specific piece you need. Using modern technology to partially automate parts of the process allows for the pieces to be made in record time allowing consumers to get their parts faster and producers to reach more customers in a given time frame. Although I don't think this company has reached the same day delivery time frame that Amazon has managed to achieve, they might be close. They have sped up the industrial process and will allow many more people to create their own projects at a higher standard.
