H3D is pleased to announce a major update to AutoDesign.   

Developed with input from leading labs and manufacturers, H3D’s AI ecosystem has been enhanced to deliver a 100% design success rate so production can be automated with full confidence and control. 

AutoDesign is also able to automate full custom ITE hearing aid designs, and coupled with a new workflow that smartly integrates with existing ERP systems, the challenges of CAD bottlenecks in production is now history.

Automation of ITE Designs

H3D has been working in close collaboration with hearing aid manufacturers to fully automate the pinnacle of hearing aid design complexity: Custom Shells. H3D’s unique AI template-based technology is now capable to AI design complex ITE, ITC, CIC, IIC hearing aids. Templates can be uniquely configured to support any approved manufacturer designs, meaning that even the smallest hearing aids packed with miniaturised electronics can now be fully automated.

Sophisticated digital production

AutoDesign is capable of reading order data exported directly from labs and manufacturers own ERP systems. And for QA processes that require a manual review of designs prior to printing, a new Quick Review feature allows rapid checking of designs before committing to print.

Smart Support Generation

Even with optimal orientation for 3D printing, it is sometimes challenging to successfully print every design using only a single cone for support. AutoDesign now smartly analyses every design for unsupported overhanging areas and adds additional light touch structures to maximise print success rates and minimise any post-processing work.

R&D Acceleration

R&D teams can now easily and repeatedly process large volumes of test orders in parallel, gathering huge data sets of metrics from KPI reports auto generated by AutoDesign. Analysing product performance and fit of new concepts and designs is now simple with AutoDesign.

H3D will be demoing the latest version of AutoDesign at the EUHA trade show on 16th- 18th October in Hannover, Germany. If you are interested in a demo or further information, please contact us here – we look forward to speaking with you.

AutoDesign is a fully automated CAD solution that uses AI technology to design hearing aids, hearing protection, earphones, and other custom fit ear products. This allows manufacturers, labs, and clinics to go directly from 3D scanning to 3D printing, bypassing the need to use complex and expensive CAD software in their production.
