00 Precision manufacturing partner
Since 1978, GCM has machined, welded and assembled critical components for surgical robotics, medical device, genomics and aerospace OEMs, across four sites in the US and Asia.
01 Industries
Articulation joints, instrument drives, wrist housings with stacked micro-tolerances.
Implant-adjacent and delivery components, cleanroom-assembled and documented.
Instrument stages, fluidic manifolds and precision motion components.
Fluid manifolds, brackets and welded assemblies with full traceability.
Semiconductor and automation components where uptime depends on fit.

P-01
Complex prismatic and organic geometry in one setup: housings, manifolds, implant-grade features.
P-02
Long, slender, high-volume turned parts with live tooling: shafts, pins, instrument components.
P-03
Sharp internal corners, thin walls and hardened materials without cutting forces.
P-04
Repeatable laser and TIG welding in fixtured robotic cells with documented weld parameters.
P-05
Sub-assembly, cleaning, packaging and labeling in classified cleanrooms, with build records.
P-06
CMM, optical and vision measurement, first article inspection and capability studies.
P-07
Passivation, electropolish, anodize, bead blast and laser marking for UDI.
P-08
Tolerance-stack review, material selection and cost-down redesign before the first chip.
03 3D component viewer
A surgical-robot articulation joint, rendered live. Orbit it, explode it, cut it open, and select a part to read its tolerance, material and inspection method.
Sample Demonstrator geometry. Not a customer part.
3D view unavailable on this device. The part list and specs still work.

05 Robotic welding
A laser seam on a 316L manifold, scrubbed by your scroll. Locked parameters mean the hundredth joint matches the first.

09 Case study
Sample Illustrative case. Replace with an approved GCM program.
Challenge
A bearing bore held ±0.0002" on paper, but the incumbent's process drifted with heat, and incoming inspection was rejecting lots.
Engineering solution
DFM moved the datum scheme to the bore, the part went to a single 5-axis setup with in-process probing, and a thermal warm-up cycle was locked into the program.
Outcome
Drag the slider to compare the process before and after.
