It utilizes the intrinsic muscles of the hand, which are four muscle groups that work together to provide dexterity and fine motor control to the fingers and thumb. 5.
Avient Design, a team of industrial designers and project engineers, used CAE simulation to provide a proof of concept for converting from a standard steel or wood hammer handle to a polymer design.
By providing quantitative data and information, the software helped to avoid rounds of physical testing (requiring physical prototypes, pneumatic motors and accelerometers) that would have affected the project’s timeline and cost.
