We calculated the volume of our ear model, which came out to be 19 cu cm. Real ears aren't made of ABS plastic, but rather other materials. We can use the density of these other materials to find the mass of our ear should it be printed using these other materials instead of ABS plastic.
We can then compare this mass to the mass of a real ear to see what materials would produce an ear closest in mass/density to the real thing.
An artificial ear would need to be attached using surgical procedures, which can come with risks of infection and rejection. Choosing the right materials is crucial in reducing these risks.
We also began designing the powerpoint we will use for the presentation.
