• Description:
  Palm adapters are one of the essential tools needed for evaluating the effectiveness of vibration reduction gloves in accordance to the international standard ISO 108191. Various materials used to manufacture palm adapters have been reported and include titanium, magnesium, and acrylic, where Reynolds et al., manufactured 30 acrylic palm adapters of varying shapes and dimensions in order to evaluate the influence of adapter geometry on transmissibility. They demonstrated that changes in adapter geometry effected bare-hand transmissibility but did not significantly influence glove transmissibility results. Rigid materials such as wood or hard plastics are recommended in the latest version of the standard; however, the complex surface geometry and a misleading technical drawing of the palm adapter that requires advanced manufacturing capabilities in order to meet the dimensions, weight, and transmissibility constraints. This investigation compares the transmissibility of palm adapters manufactured using typical materials via conventional machining methods as well as palm adapters manufactured using additive manufacturing methods (i.e., 3D printing).
