BENEFITS of SYMMETRY
4
create a more modular or stackable component assembly
change object shape
increase user convenience
reduce control system complexity
add a new function or integrate another function
have a broader operating rangeimprove user safety
improve strength
improve manoeuvrability
improve ergonomics
improve aesthetic appearance
create a Lego-like component assembly
make it easier to operate
increase user involvement
increase grip
increase grip

Symmetry
Product• Oval and complex
shaped O-rings • Coated glass or paper • Eccentric drive • Spectacles • Human-shaped seating,
etc
Process• Introduce a geometric feature which
prevents incorrect usage/assemblyof a component (e.g. earth pin on electric plug)
• Asymmetrical funnel allows higherflow-rate than normal funnel
• Put a flat spot on a cylindrical shaft to attach a locking feature
• Introduction of angled or scarfed geometry features on component edges
• Cutaway on a guitar improves access to high notes • Take account of differences between left and right
handed users • Spout of a jug • Car steering system compensates for camber in road • Wing design compensated for asymmetric flow
produced by propeller • Use of variable control surfaces to alter lift properties
of an aircraft wing • Special connectors with complex shape/pin
configurations to ensure correct assembly • Introduction of several different measurement scales
on a ruler Aerofoil - asymmetry generates lift.
