The Metal Former is a machine from IndustrialCraft2 Experimental used to make Plates, Item Casings and Wires more efficiently and without requiring an additional tool. Some items, like the Empty Cell, can also only be made using the Metal Former as of Minecraft 1.6. The Metal Former needs 10 EU/t while operating.

GUI[edit]

Rolling

The GUI of the Metal Former is similar to that of most other electric machines from IC2. It has an input, output and battery slot. Items from the input will be processed and sent to the output, and the battery slot can hold an RE-Battery, which can be used to run the machine without requiring a connected power cable.

Unlike any other machine, it also has a mode button, which can be set to either Rolling, Extruding or Cutting (represented by a Forge Hammer, Copper Cable and Cutter respectively). The mode will affect which recipes can be performed, or what their outcome will be. The mode can be switched at any time, even during operation. The different modes all have the same power requirements and operation times.
