It showed less force is transmitted to the hand by a polymer hammer shaft than a steel one. For instance, bio-polymers are based entirely or partially on renewable sources such as sugarcane, and may perform at a level comparable to conventional polymers. The image shows the result of a fill analysis that predicts the polymer flow in the mold.
