Vormilised

Vormilised is an Estonian adjective used to describe objects, structures, or concepts that have been shaped or formed through a forming process. The term is derived from vorm, meaning form, and the suffix -ilised, which marks a property. It is employed in technical writing as well as in design and art to distinguish formed items from those that are natural, carved, or otherwise unshaped.

In manufacturing and design, vormilised components are produced by molding, casting, pressing, or other forming methods. They are typically contrasted with parts created by cutting, milling, or finishing operations that remove material to achieve a final shape. In architecture and sculpture, vormilised elements refer to forms created through casting, modeling, or other shaping techniques.

The use of vormilised varies by field and context. It is most common in Estonian-language technical texts and design discourse, where it helps specify a production method or a property of the finished object. When translating, the term is often rendered as molded, formed, or shaped, depending on the method and material involved.
