3D Scanning Printing In Ear Impressions IEM using Fusion 360
Why would you care about about scanning and printing ear impressions?
IEM Post Scan in Fusion 360
Well, if we’re able to 3D scan and Print Ear Impressions we can make our own In-ear Monitors (IEM). IEMs are used used by Musicians, those with hearing impairments, people that have Tinnitus whom need slim ear plugs to sleep with like the expensive Levo Tinnitus system, and the list goes on. And IEMs are expensive.
This is a huge potential way for you as a 3D Model designer and printer to make money, just by adding a 3D Scanner to your arsenal.
