Abstract

An important principle in product design is the Form follows Function principle. The forming processes are basically divided into cutting and chipless manufacturing processes. Chipless forming has the advantage of manufacturing parts without any interruption or damage to the natural fiber orientation in the wood, so that parts can be made considering the force progression. In this chapter, forming, densification, and molding deal with different forming technologies of wood. The description of the wood-bending process focuses on historical technologies. Basic considerations are discussed in the two-dimensional bending and three-dimensional forming of veneer. The densification of wood, which is a more recent technology, is also explained in this chapter, and the molding of wood-plastic composites, especially in extrusion and injection molding processes, and shaping by additive (generative) processes are also considered.
