1. A method for bending a length of pipe to be used in an electrical conduit pipe run including at least one bend, the method comprising:
accessing electronic data of a model of the electrical conduit pipe run;
segmenting the model of the electrical conduit pipe run into a plurality of consecutive lengths of pipe, the length of pipe being one of the plurality of consecutive lengths of pipe;
determining a bend location of the at least one bend along the length of pipe based on:
a position of the length of pipe along the electrical conduit pipe run established by the segmenting of the model into a plurality of consecutive lengths of pipe;
a position of the at least one bend along the electrical conduit pipe run; and
an effect of at least one of gain and take-up for the at least one bend; and
preparing fabrication instructions for fabricating the length of pipe, the fabrication instructions including the bend location and a bend angle.
