Post forming is the process in which plastic laminate is rolled (formed) around a profiled substrate, here generally a 32mm thick particle board (although in NZ I beleive they use 36mm). The process is accomplished by heating the laminate & then folding it around the substrate to which it is bonded.
Radii of 10 & 15mm are commonest on either the top or top & bottom of the edge. Hope this helps
