Bulk Deformation Processes
Forging: The work-piece is compressed between two
opposing dies so that the die shapes are imparted to work.
It is traditionally hot working process however many types
of forging are performed cold.

Sheet Metalworking Processes
Drawing: (Cup or deep drawing) Forming of a flat metal
sheet into a hollow or concave shape, such as cup, by
stretching the metal. A blank holder is used to hold down
the blank while the punch pushes into the sheet metal.

Shearing: It involves cutting rather than forming of a
metal. A shearing operation cuts the work using a punch
and die.
