The fabrication of auricular prostheses is traditionally time consuming, and the definitive esthetic appearance is highly skill dependent. A method of creating the wax pattern for an auricular prosthesis by using optical scanning and 3D printing is described. A digital scan of the unaffected ear is used for computer-aided design and manufacturing of a mold for casting the wax pattern of the prosthesis. The process is efficient and increases the predictability of the esthetic outcome.
传统的耳廓假体制作过程非常耗时,且最终的美观效果高度依赖于技师的技能。本文介绍了一种使用光学扫描和 3D 打印制作耳廓假体蜡型的方法。首先对正常耳进行数字扫描,然后通过计算机辅助设计和制造模具来浇铸假体的蜡型。该过程高效,可提高美学效果的可预测性。
