We consider ourselves more of a metal shaping site.


Form.... is more of what you do to sheet-metal to change it's appearance. Example... if I take a 10'' by 10'' piece of sheet-metal and roll it over my knee, the appearance has changed but the surface area stayed the same.


Shape.... Is anything you do to a piece of sheet-metal that changes the surface area (shrinking and stretching). Example if I take a piece of sheet-metal and hammer on it on a sand bag, I stretched the metal making the surface area larger then it was originally. The metal was thinned.

If I shrink the sheet-metal it will make the surface area smaller then it was originally. Shrinking will make the metal thicker.
