Xometry Built Galen Robotics’ Mechanical, Surgical Assistant

Learn why Galen Robotics used manufacturing services from Xometry to help build a robot that steadies hand tremors during surgery.

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.
