These types of forming process involve the application of mechanical force at room temperature. However, some recent developments involve the heating of dies and/or parts. Advancements in automated metalworking technology have made progressive die stamping possible which is a method that can encompass punching, coining, bending and several other ways below that modify metal at less cost while resulting in less scrap.
* Bending
* Coining
* Decambering
* Deep drawing (DD)
* Foldforming
* Hydroforming (HF)
* Hot metal gas forming
* Hot press hardening
* Incremental forming (IF)
* Spinning, Shear forming or Flowforming 
* Planishing
* Raising
* Roll forming
* Roll bending
* Repoussé and chasing
* Rubber pad forming
* Shearing
* Stamping
* Superplastic forming (SPF)
* Wheeling using an English wheel (wheeling machine)
