Hearing instruments require custom shells for each individual. Geomagic eShell enables custom shell creation using the latest digital technologies. It replaces manpower with machine power, creating shells with perfect fit and greater functionality, amplifying productivity in custom manufacturing for CIC, ITC and ITE hearing instruments.

Geomagic eShell features a streamlined user-interface with the addition of automated functionality and a more robust detailing process. Binaural sculpting - the ability to simultaneously sculpt both the left and right sides of a shell - is the key factor in the increased speed of Geomagic eShell. The ability to import a virtual faceplate containing the geometric definition for electronic components enables production to be further sped up. Components are placed in the shell to avoid interference; the faceplate is then merged into the shell. When the shell is printed, the components can be plugged easily into the base, eliminating the need for a traditional faceplate.

Three simple steps in the digital process:

1. 
   Digitize the ear impression using a 3D camera.
2. 
   Design the hearing instrument shell using Geomagic eShell.
3. 
   Fabricate the shell using an SLA or SLS system.
