Specifically, using the human ear as one example to develop a cost-effective chain of methods and tools, the above mentioned combined and interacting technologies can be used to understand and demonstrate the possibilities for rapid bio prototyping. Production workflows for personalized soft-material bio-prosthesis gain significance in reconstructive and plastic surgery. This paper introduces a workflow concept, presents a list of appropriate and accessible state-of-the-art handheld scanners, followed by an image processing solution based on the MeshLab application and printing first prototypes.en3D handheld scanning3D-printingmeshpoint cloudsworkflowconference paper
