The '''Metal Former''' is a machine which is responsible for the vast majority of [[metal shaping]] in IC&sup2; - turning metal ingots into other things (and those other things into additional other things, sometimes).<br />

The Metal Former has 3 modes, toggled by clicking the button underneath the progress bar. The button's icon will change to indicate the active mode.<br />
* [[File:Grid Forge Hammer.png|32px|link=]] Rolling mode is used to turn ingots into plates and plates into item casings.<br />
* [[File:Grid Cutter.png|32px|link=]] Cutting mode is used to turn plates into cable and [[Iron Item Casing]]s into [[Industrial Credit]]s.<br />
* [[File:Grid Copper Cable.png|32px|link=]] Extruding mode is used to turn ingots directly into cable and create [[Iron Fence]]s, [[Tin Can]]s, and [[Fuel Rod (Empty)|empty Fuel Rods]].<br />

In versions after 1.7.10, the [[Empty Cell]] was replaced by the [[Universal Fluid Cell]]; but in versions 1.7.10 and prior, the [[Empty Cell]] recipe is as follows<br />
