medical-grade, high-precision parts for the Galen Robot

case hover image

Project Brief

Galen Robotics needed to make medically certified parts at low production volumes with high precision for a robot that stabilizes hand tremors during ENT (ear, nose, and throat) surgeries.

Xometry's Sloution

Galen Robotics used Xometry’s CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, and 3D printing services in metal and plastic to create medical grade, high-precision parts for a clinical version of the Galen Robot. The parts assemble with the help of accurately manufactured tapped holes and complex geometric planes.

Final Result

Thanks to Xometry’s flexible, on-demand manufacturing services, the team at Galen Robotics could source parts that assembled precisely, with various tapped holes and complex geometric planes connecting tightly. These medical-grade parts, certified as inert and biocompatible materials, work to make a successful medical device.

Finding a competent supplier was a key requirement for me, so I started looking around and found Xometry that seemed to cater for absolutely everything I was looking for, but I couldn’t believe they could produce all the parts I needed so well and so inexpensively. When the first boxes arrived in January, I was afraid to open them, because if the quality wasn’t good enough I wouldn't have anywhere else to go to. But when I put it together, you simply can’t imagine how accurate it was. It is a wonderful experience to use Xometry as a supplier, I don’t have to worry about the quality anymore. I’ve done my job as an engineer, you’ve done yours as a supplier, we are ready to assist in fighting this terrible pandemic.

Xometry is the company that made it the easiest. I talked to a few different companies, and Xometry felt like the best fit for me. A lot of these decisions do come down to who do I want to work with long term, so who do I get the best feeling from and who feels like they understand the product and are excited about it and want to be involved as well.

Xometry proved to be able to maintain good contact and provide fast and professional valuation of any manufacturing job. In many cases the engineers from Xometry did help by consulting on technologies Harpo could use to produce certain elements. The elements Xometry produced for the innovative device were delivered in a short time and for a fair price. The aluminum parts were CNC milled and post-processed by black anodizing.

he project had a very ambitious timeline since we had to plan, produce, test and ship our complex machine all within one year. The short and scheduled delivery times from Xometry were a great help in achieving this. We were also really satisfied with the quality of the parts provided by Xometry.
