Patent number: 10021496Abstract: The present invention provides a method for computer-controlled creation of non-occluding earpieces with tube bore. The non-occluding earpieces are created based on a three-dimensional computer model of at least part of the outer ear and at least part of the auditory canal. The said model is created by a laser scanner, in the ear scanner or by other means. The said three-dimensional computer model is virtually modified to create the non-occluding earpieces and the tube bore. Finally the physical non-occluding earpieces are manufactured using rapid prototyping equipment.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2007Date of Patent: July 10, 2018Assignee: 3SHAPE A/SInventors: Tais Clausen, Rune Fisker, Nikolaj Deichmann, David Fischer
