Metal forming is the shaping of a material by permanently deforming it under the influence of suitably selected forces. This process helps to give the workpiece the desired shape, dimensions and mechanical properties. The key is to apply forces that exceed the yield strength of the metal, leading to a permanent change in its shape. In the case of ductile materials, once this limit is exceeded, deformation occurs without an increase in forces, which makes it possible to precisely shape products using high pressur.

The price of metal shaping depends on:
* Type and thickness of material: harder metals require more robust tools.
** The type of operation: bending or rolling.
*** Component size and shape: larger and more complex shapes require more time and work.
