shaping
The process by which a material or product is given a particular external form or structure. This is a central aspect of design and manufacturing.
Die aerodynamische Formgebung des neuen Sportwagens ist sehr gelungen.
The aerodynamic shaping of the new sports car is very successful.
The word is made up of 'die Form' (form/shape) and the verb 'geben' (to give). The ending '-ung' turns the action 'Form geben' (to give shape) into a noun. Nouns ending in '-ung' are always feminine (die).
Die Formgebung ist ein wichtiger Teil des Designprozesses.
Shaping is an important part of the design process.
'Formgebung' (shaping) is often combined with adjectives that describe the result. Common examples are 'moderne Formgebung' (modern design), 'ergonomische Formgebung' (ergonomic design), or 'künstlerische Formgebung' (artistic design).
Bei der Entwicklung des Stuhls wurde auf eine ergonomische Formgebung geachtet.
During the development of the chair, attention was paid to ergonomic shaping.
This word is mainly used in contexts such as design, architecture, art, and engineering. It describes the deliberate process of giving an object a particular form.
Die Formgebung des Gebäudes erinnert an ein Segelschiff.
The shaping of the building is reminiscent of a sailing ship.
design / organization
Both words refer to a process in which something is given its external form. Formgebung focuses more narrowly on the specific external shape or structure, while Gestaltung can also include additional design work. When the focus is specifically on the shape of a product, use Formgebung; for more comprehensive design, Gestaltung is more suitable.
Die Formgebung des neuen Fahrrads macht den Rahmen besonders geschwungen.
The shaping of the new bicycle gives the frame a particularly curved form.
Die Gestaltung des neuen Fahrrads berücksichtigt Form, Farbe und die Anordnung der Teile.
The design of the new bicycle takes its shape, color, and the arrangement of its parts into account.
