A process for making a three-dimensionally shaped glass article, comprising: placing a glass sheet in a forming tool, the forming tool comprising: a mold (710, 710') having a shaping surface (712, 712') with a desired surface profile for the shaped glass article including a flat area and a bend area; a flat area plunger (720, 720') having a shaping surface (722, 722') corresponding to the flat area of the mold (710, 710'); and a bend area plunger (740, 740') having a shaping surface (742, 742') corresponding to the bend area of the mold (710, 710'); moving the flat area plunger (720, 720') toward the glass sheet to compress the glass sheet; heating a portion of the glass sheet corresponding to an area above the bend area of the mold (710, 710') to a temperature above a forming temperature; and moving the bend area plunger (740, 740') toward the heated glass sheet to compress the heated glass sheet, thereby forming a shaped glass article having a flat area and a bend area, wherein a temperature of the portion of the glass sheet in the area above the bend area of the mold (710, 710') is higher than a temperature of a portion of the glass sheet in an area above the flat area of the mold (710, 710') when compressing the heated glass sheet with the bend area plunger (740, 740'), wherein the mold(710, 710'), the flat area plunger (720, 720'), and the bend area plunger (740, 740') are porous, and wherein a gas flows through the porous mold (710, 710'), flat area plunger (720, 720'), and bend area plunger (740, 740') to form a compressive gas layer above and below the glass sheet such that the glass sheet does not contact the mold flat area plunger and bent area plunger. placing a glass sheet in a forming tool, the forming tool comprising: a mold (710, 710') having a shaping surface (712, 712') with a desired surface profile for the shaped glass article including a flat area and a bend area; a flat area plunger (720, 720') having a shaping surface (722, 722') corresponding to the flat area of the mold (710, 710'); and a bend area plunger (740, 740') having a shaping surface (742, 742') corresponding to the bend area of the mold (710, 710'); a mold (710, 710') having a shaping surface (712, 712') with a desired surface profile for the shaped glass article including a flat area and a bend area; a flat area plunger (720, 720') having a shaping surface (722, 722') corresponding to the flat area of the mold (710, 710'); and a bend area plunger (740, 740') having a shaping surface (742, 742') corresponding to the bend area of the mold (710, 710'); moving the flat area plunger (720, 720') toward the glass sheet to compress the glass sheet; heating a portion of the glass sheet corresponding to an area above the bend area of the mold (710, 710') to a temperature above a forming temperature; and moving the bend area plunger (740, 740') toward the heated glass sheet to compress the heated glass sheet, thereby forming a shaped glass article having a flat area and a bend area, wherein a temperature of the portion of the glass sheet in the area above the bend area of the mold (710, 710') is higher than a temperature of a portion of the glass sheet in an area above the flat area of the mold (710, 710') when compressing the heated glass sheet with the bend area plunger (740, 740'), wherein the mold(710, 710'), the flat area plunger (720, 720'), and the bend area plunger (740, 740') are porous, and
