Description
Galileo by Protosthetics is an end-to-end in-clinic 3D printing solution designed specifically for orthotic and prosthetic clinicians and technicians who want to bring more digital fabrication capability into everyday practice. Rather than functioning as a standalone printer only, Galileo is positioned as a complete workflow that combines scanning, digital order submission, remote design support, print optimisation, on-site fabrication and ongoing technical support for O&P clinics.
Built for the realities of modern O&P service delivery, Galileo supports a connected workflow in which the clinic scans the limb or cast, submits the order through the Proto App, and then works with the Protosthetics team as the design is created and optimised for printing before being deployed back to the clinic for on-site production. This model is designed to help clinics benefit from digital manufacturing without needing to build a full in-house CAD department from day one.
Galileo is especially relevant for O&P providers looking to improve turnaround times, standardise fabrication quality and expand access to additive manufacturing without placing the full design and R&D burden on their own internal team. Protosthetics describes the platform as a complete in-clinic 3D printing package for O&P, supported by a dedicated digital technician lead, continuous product development and hardware upgrades as new versions become available.
For orthotic and prosthetic clinicians, Galileo offers a practical route into digitally enabled care pathways. For technicians and fabrication teams, it provides a structured manufacturing ecosystem that includes optimisation for print speed and performance, material support, training resources and hardware support. Protosthetics also highlights a learning portal, full practitioner and technician training, and ongoing remote troubleshooting as part of the wider solution.
This makes Galileo well suited to clinics that want more than a printer alone. It is aimed at O&P organisations looking for a broader digital production platform that can support scaling, improve workflow confidence and reduce barriers to adopting in-house 3D printed orthotic and prosthetic products. With its combination of in-clinic fabrication and external digital support, Galileo is positioned as a hybrid model for clinics seeking faster, more streamlined and more accessible digital manufacturing in orthotics and prosthetics.
