Limitations on Leverage
1. Weight can increase due to extra length, and supplementary shapes needed to achieve leverage
2. Sections can become so thin that buckling occurs3. Space may be too large to achieve good leverage4. Manufacturing problems caused by the
introduction of leverage may make the part too expensive

distributed to a general area, use shape merging

Summary
• Many different principles for Form Synthesis
• Use of each principle depends on the application and the driving factors
• Engineers determine the appropriate principle for the “best” design
