Case Study: Corindus achieves rapid commercialization of the CorPath GRX robotic system with Protolabs' on‑demand injection molding

Medtech Firm Never Skips a Beat with On-Demand Manufacturing

Corindus, a Siemens Healthineers Company, needed fast, medical‑grade prototyping and low‑volume production of a molded, single‑use cassette for its CorPath GRX robotic system while facing tight development timelines, multiple design iterations, strict quality requirements, and uncertain early demand. Corindus engaged Protolabs for on‑demand injection molding, rapid tooling and prototyping to deliver production‑ready plastic parts quickly and affordably.

Protolabs supplied rapid tooling, prototyping, overmolding and low‑volume injection molding—delivering dozens of molds and parts in weeks instead of months, supporting 30–40 specific tools and producing parts in the tens of thousands as demand stabilized. The Protolabs approach met Corindus’ verification deadlines, reduced cost and risk by enabling on‑demand production, helped secure FDA clearance and CE marking for CorPath GRX, and supported worldwide deployment and thousands of procedures each year.
