Well,

    I thought is a bit wierd, the claim for instance for "identical
    volume" did not seem to make any sense. But, a skim on the net shows
    that it seems to be a relative of magneforming, which is a very real
    industrial technique. And, if Popular Science has an article on it
    (see below) then it is very probably real.
