An apparatus for forging may include a moveable first tooling member configured to form a workpiece upon impact with the workpiece, a moveable second tooling member configured to form the workpiece upon impact with the workpiece, wherein the first tooling member and the second tooling member are each moveable relative to one another, and wherein a net momentum of a simultaneous impact with the workpiece by the first tooling member and the second tooling member is approximately zero.
