A technique to produce a mirror-image wax pattern of an ear using rapid prototyping technology.
J Prosthet Dent. 2005 Aug; 94(2):195-8.JP

Abstract

This article describes the use of computer-aided techniques to produce a wax pattern of a missing ear. A 3-dimensional (3-D) computer model of a conventional cast from a patient was obtained using an optical surface capture device (scanner). The 3-D computer model was inverted, using computer-aided design software. A physical thermoplastic (wax) pattern of the inverted 3-D cast was produced using a rapid prototyping (RP) machine.
