eShell Features

Order Configuation

• Enter all order-specific information in one place at one time.
• User-customizable parameters control the workflow.

Scan Data Processing

• Fill holes.
• Remove noise.
• Automatically surface the point cloud and make it watertight with good mesh quality.

Detail Canal Tip

• Use the medial axis to define a cut-plane.
• Use pre-defined canal tip profiles.
• Round sharp corners.
• Dynamically place the wax guards.

Binaural Sculpting Workflow

• Simultaneously sculpt both the left and right side shells.
• Sculpting commands are automatically transferred from the primary to the secondary shell.

Shell Detailing

• Make rule-based cuts of the shell surface.
• Dynamically position electronic components within the shell with simultaneous interference checking.
• “Concurrent Measure and Offsetâ€? of selected regions allows interactive, real-time indication of the offset effects.
• Create a tool path for a CNC machine to cut and bevel a faceplate within the matching shell outline.
• Automatically taper the shell for a smooth transition to the faceplate.

Receiver Hole and Vent Creation

• Create all industry standard vents: Trench, Step, Side and Standard.
• Completely control vent location and orientation.
• Create multiple vent profiles.

Virtual Faceplate Definition

• Import a ‘virtual faceplate’ containing the geometric definition for the electronic components.
• Place the virtual components in the shell to avoid interference.
• Merge the faceplate to the shell, thus eliminating the need for a separate faceplate.
After the printing process, the components are simply plugged into the base.

Fabrication Preparation

• Automate shell preparation functions such as clean, offset, make manifold, and hole fill.
• Add identification numbers to the interior or exterior surface of shells.

Quality Inspection

• Preview the finished product in a digital model of the customer's ear.
• Compare differences between the original impression and the shell.
• Use binaural reference to create consistent left and right shells.
