No. Density is measured as mass per unit of volume. Changing the shape will not change the mass or the volume.
Imagine a bag of M&Ms. If you put that bag on a counter, in very simplistic terms, it will have 22 M&Ms per bag. Let's say that is density: 22M&Ms/bag. If you take that bag and fold it in half while keeping it in one piece, it will still have 22 M&Ms per bag, so density remains the same.
Temperature can change volume, as can pressure. The M&M situation falls apart here, but we'll save those for later anyway.

Is hammering copper metal a physical or chemical change?
It is a physical change because you are changing the shape of the metal.
Is changing the size and shape of pieces of wood a chemical change true or false?
False. Changing the size and shape of pieces of wood is a physical change because the wood's composition does not change.
Is hammering metal into a flat sheet physical change?
Yes it is a physical change. The only other option is chemical change and the metal didnt change its chemical make up, it only changed its shape, and shape is the only thing that did change.
Is thawing meat a physical or chemical change?
Thawing meat is a chemical change because the meat isn't changing the meat is just melting but it's not changing shape or flavor or texture etcIt's a physical change the water is changing from solid - ice, to a liquid. The meat is not changing.
How can the shape of metal be changed with out it breaking?
You can change its shape by heating it up, then afterwards, apply pressure. For example, hit it with a hammer.
Why does changing shape of an object dose not change the density?
Changing the shape CAN change the density. If you change it into a smaller shape, then you increase the density. However the mass will not change.

It is a physical change because you are changing the shape of the metal.
How can you change the mass of a completely filled solid without changing its volume or shape?
density
Does the mass of something change if you change it shape?
No. Mass is independent of shape. The mass, as measured by weight, will be the same. If the material is compressible and you change the volume as a result of changing the shape, the density will change although the mass will not.
What is Density how is Calculated How does density change?
density is how dense an object is (see dense) it is calculated by dividing the mass by volume of an object. density can be changed by changing the size or shape or the object
What happens to the density of a substance if you change the amount or shape of that substance?
nothing happpens. changing the shape doesnt do anything and adding more doesnt do anything either. the density will change tho if you add another chemical or substanceansthe above comment is correct. Unless you applied a force that changed its overall volume of course, whilst changing its shape.
What causes loss of lift for airplanes?
There are a lot of factors that can cause the loss of lift in an aircraft, such as changing the shape of the airfoil, changing the speed, a change in air temperature which causes a change in air density, etc.
If you melt 1 kg of lead will it still weigh the same as the original lump of lead?
Yes, changing the shape does not change the density of an element.
Why does changing the shap of an object have no affect on the density of that object?
Density is mass divided by volume: Changing the shape (say by bending it) changes neither.
How does changing the shape of the metal affect the density of the boat?
Indeed yes. Density is defined as mass per unit volume. If all the mass were concentrated in one lump, your boat would no longer float. If the metal walls of the boat were a little thinner, you'd have more boat volume, and lower density.
How do you change density?
To change density there are three ways. You can change the shape, mass or volume of the object
