Abstract
A method for making a customized earpiece includes creating a unique identifier associated with a user, scanning an ear of the user with an electronic device that includes at least one camera system that configured to perform three dimensional mapping image scans, associating the unique identifier with one or more scans obtained via the electronic device, receiving, at a database, the one or more scans via transmission from the electronic device, receiving, at the database, one or more earpiece parameters via transmission from the electronic device, forming, via a three-dimensional printer, a mold having an internal configuration corresponding to the one or more scans and the one or more earpiece parameters. The mold can then be utilized to create a custom-fit earpiece that includes customized internal components and other features that match the earpiece parameters provided by the user. A system utilizing the above method is also included.
