English translation:molding of plates
Explanation:
A little more context is required here. Does conformado de placas refer to an earlier noun? In that case, I agree with Jack's suggestion above, that is should me "made up of/comprised of plates". However, if this is a title and refers to the activity of, as you said "como se hacen, o se les da forma", then I would go with molding plates. See examples in links.

You're very welcome but I really must insist that I am not an expert at all in this domain. Please do not rely fully on my answer. I'm sure someone more qualified in this field will make a suggestion soon.
