Project Overview

Our goal is to create a 3D printed artificial ear that can replace a natural ear that has been lost through accident or injury. We are going to create this design using Maya software and print it using a 3D printer. The main function of this artificial ear will be to act as a replacement and to take on the appearance of a real human ear. By the completion of this project, an artificial ear will be produced that will closely resemble a human ear and can be attached to the side of the patient's head.

Week 6









This week, we finished constructing the 3D model of the ear on the Maya software. The file has been converted to a ".stl" format and sent to the 3D printer at Drexel University. Now the focus is on making sure the dimensions of the ear are appropriate for picking up sounds. To ensure that the ear will be able to work in real life, we are looking into a formula relating sound pressure and volume of the outer ear. Hopefully, this will be done by next week.

On a side note, we are preparing our rough draft of the final report, which is due next week.
