The Metal Former is a machine which is responsible for the vast majority of metal shaping in IC² - turning metal ingots into other things (and those other things into additional other things, sometimes).

Use[edit]
- Main article: Metal shaping
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.
Rolling mode is used to turn ingots into plates and plates into item casings.
Cutting mode is used to turn plates into cable and Iron Item Casings into Industrial Credits.
Extruding mode is used to turn ingots directly into cable and create Iron Fences, Tin Cans, and empty Fuel Rods.
