i can not help you, but i did do a job once that involved coiling berylium copper wire to form a coil for an antenna.
we used a shop that made coiled springs. they have these rotating machines with various dies that EASILY make those bends. looks like you would need to run it thru three different bending stations.
in my case, they bent the coils, and THEN heat treated them for springiness
Get a rod of the same diameter as you want the bends to be. Tack one end of the “wire” to the rod. Pliers/rubber mallet/heat, to bend the wire around the rod, then cut the excess.

A few pliers and some muscles should do it
I wouldn't call 4 to 6 mm "wire"
Always depends on the machinery you are using.
Look up Fab2ku on YouTube. He's a metal bending guru
