Outer ear reconstruction using 3D technology : Materials, methods and applicability in use cases
Abstract: Manufacturing replicas for replacing missing or defective body parts also incorporates 3D technology, including scanning, image processing and printing. In the case of the ears, both aesthetics and functionality play a significant role. Based on these techniques, outer ear replicas were produced using 3D scans of human skulls in a rapid prototyping procedure for actual patients. Hand-held scanners delivered accurate images for post-processing of the mesh and for printing in a cost- and time efficient way. Use cases of patients demonstrate applicability, allowing the technology to be available also for the general population in the future.
