Electromagnetic Sheet Metal Bending Brake

Here's a great video that introduces the MagnaBrake:

MagnaBrake Magnetic Sheet Metal Brake

It's pretty easy to see from the video why one of these brakes would be a lot more useful than a conventional sheet metal brake. The interesting thing is it doesn't look that hard to build one for your shop. The inventor has a site with quite a few details. I'm wondering how hard it would be to apply some simple CNC to one in the form of a motorized bending gage as well as motorizing the bending action.
