High-End Surface Finishing for Additively Manufactured Earmolds
This report highlights the latest advancements in automated surface finishing for earmolds and expands the focus to include the processing of titanium earmolds.
Through extensive testing, OTEC has developed an optimized process that overcomes previous limitations in processing materials like acrylic and silicone while meeting the unique demands of titanium.
The core result is a significant improvement in surface quality: achieving crystal-clear transparency for plastics and a mirror-like finish for titanium, all without notable loss of form. This breakthrough enables manufacturers to produce more economically while enhancing wearer comfort, aesthetics, and process reliability.
