> I have a client that requires a custom earpiece moulding device to be
> prototyped.
>
> The requirement is to match the Pinna and ear canal (approx
> 50% along its
> length to the eardrum).
>
> As laser scanning is line of sight some folds of the Pinna will not be
> captured and only the entrance of the ear canal will also be captured.
> (Unless some one has a unique scanning device that will
> enable internal data
> capture)
>
> The alternative is to take a type of body cast impression
> within the ear.
> What is the best material to do this without it being too
> distressful and
> NOT cause damage to the Tympanic Membrane (eardrum)?
>
> MRI scanning is out of the question as it is too costly.
