The method of fabricating an auricular prosthesis by digitally positioning a mirror image of the soft tissue, then designing and using rapid prototyping to produce the mold, can reduce the steps and time needed to create a prosthesis by the traditional approach of sculpting either wax or clay. The purpose of this clinical report is to illustrate how the use of 3-dimensional (3-D) photography, computer technology, and additive manufacturing can extensively reduce many of the preliminary procedures currently used to create an auricular prosthesis.
通过数字化定位软组织的镜像，然后设计并使用快速成型制作模具来制作耳廓假体的方法，可以减少传统的蜡雕或泥塑方法制作假体所需的步骤和时间。本临床报告的目的是说明如何使用三维（3-D）摄影、计算机技术和增材制造来广泛减少目前用于制作耳廓假体的许多初步程序。
