moulded part Explanation: I think "de forme" may mean something along the lines of "moulded" here, which would work quite well in an engineering context. |

peer agreement (net): +1fittings Explanation: Always a tricky one this! If you are in a context where they are making the distinction between pipes and other things (as seems to be the case), then I would be inclined to go for 'fittings' — keeps a lot of the ambiguity of the original, and avoids tying it down to anything too specific. 'Pipes and fittings' (i.e. anything that goes with that is NOT pipe!) go together like 'bread and butter' And fittings are invariably parts that have other shapes than 'tubular' |

2 possibilities Explanation: I'm tempted to say "3-dimensional piece" since "pièce de forme" may be contrasted with those components of an object that are relatively flat. However, with specific reference to the casting process, "pièce de forme" is the "original" on which a master mould is based (example of this use below). See if it fits the context. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-06-25 10:43:02 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Another technical link: http://www.creaform.fr/tech.html Reference: http://www.lille.cci.fr/tourisme/arts0.html |
