Abstract
An optimized thickness of a transplantable auricular silicone scaffold was researched. The original image data were acquired from CT scans, and reverse modeling technology was used to build a digital 3D model of an auricle. The transplant process was simulated in ANSYS Workbench by finite element analysis (FEA), solid scaffolds were manufactured based on the FEA results, and the transplantable artificial auricle was finally obtained with an optimized thickness, as well as sufficient intensity and hardness. This paper provides a reference for clinical transplant surgery.
