1. preserving angles and shapes locally, especially in mathematical mappings or transformations
Usage: mathematics; technical
2. having the same form or shape; conforming in structure
Usage: formal

Examples

• The conformal mapping preserved all angles in the geometric transformation.
• Cartographers use conformal projections to maintain accurate angular relationships.
• The conformal coating protected the electronic components from moisture.
• In complex analysis, conformal functions are essential for many applications.
• The architect designed conformal structures that matched the existing buildings.
• Conformal geometry studies transformations that preserve angles.
