Description
Shaping processes are designed to alter the shape of the workpiece by forming or deforming it. This is in opposition to nonshaping processes, which alter not the shape, but certain properties of the workpiece.
Additional Notes
This is a classification process, not a end-node process. Specifying the detailed end-node process required will produce a better RfD search result.
