German term or phrase: pressformen
das Ventilelement besteht aus zwei pressgeformten plattenförmigen Leichtmetallgehäuseteilen mit eingepressten Steueröffnungen
The metal is aluminium
Ernst suggest "press-formed" or "squeeze-moulded". The latter seems to be a process for preparation of moulds rather than components so press-forming, if that means forming on a press, looks like a better candidate. Can anyone confirm (or refute) this for definite?
