DEFINING GRIP ARCHITECTURE
After defining the anthropometric data, create a
design brief outlining your deliverables and scope
of work.
The team selected
a long glass fiber-reinforced nylon material
(Complēt™ PA66-LGF50 composite) for the shaft
substrate to provide strength and to withstand
hammering impact.
Epoxy and nylon plugs were
used for the ends.
