The shape of the product refers to the definite spatial shape that the product has and can be observed. The technical solution proposed for the product shape can be a technical solution proposed for the three-dimensional spatial shape of the product, such as improvements to the cam shape and tool shape; it can also be a technical solution proposed for the two-dimensional shape of the product, For example, improvements to the cross-sectional shape of profiles.

The structure of a product refers to the arrangement, organization and interrelationship of the various components of the product. The structure of the product can be either a mechanical structure or a circuit structure. The mechanical structure refers to the relative positional relationship, connection relationship and necessary mechanical cooperation relationship of the components that constitute the product. The circuit structure refers to the determined connection relationship between the components that constitute the product.

The composite layer can be considered as the structure of the product. For example, the carburized layer and oxide layer of the product belong to the composite layer structure.
