<p>A method is provided for releasing a thin foil workpiece (12) from adherence with a resilient surface (41) to which it adheres due to compression occuring in a forming operation. The method includes the steps of applying pneumatic pressure greater than ambient pressure between the first forming element (40) and the workpiece (12) while the workpiece (12) remains held by compression. Thereafter, a second surface (22) of a second forming element (20) is separated from contact with the thin foil workpiece (12), removing compression, and rapid or shock release of the thin foil workpiece (12) from its adherence to the resilient surface (41) ensues. An alternative method is further provided.</p> |
