$19.7 Billion Doesn’t Happen by Standing Still.
Innovation creates momentum. It also creates pressure on the teams responsible for turning new ideas into production-ready products.
Fathom already supports GE HealthCare programs with the hardware, engineering support, and manufacturing expertise needed to help keep that momentum moving.
We’re Already Supporting Programs Inside GE Healthcare.

Meet Your White Glove Team
Pamela Melton-Arroyo
Speed Without the Quality Gaps. Partnership Without the Chaos.
Most contract manufacturers can quote fast or build at low cost. Very few can do both while meeting the documentation discipline, revision control and quality traceability that GE HealthCare programs require. And when scope changes or a new model comes out, most reset the relationship entirely. Fathom is built differently. Here is what makes us act like an extension of your team:
-
Design for Manufacturability review happens before the quote, not after the first rejected part. Fathom engineers review prints for tolerance feasibility, finish compatibility, regulatory fit and inspection approach when there is still time to fix issues cleanly.
-
Controlled revision management and first-article documentation are built into every program, not bolted on at the end. Your quality team gets the traceability they need without having to fight for it.
-
Multi-process execution under one program umbrella: CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, precision injection molding, additive manufacturing, surface finishing and inspection, all coordinated as a single accountable operating model.
-
White-glove service is not a premium tier at Fathom. It is the default. The same engineering and program management discipline runs the 10-piece prototype program and the 5,000-piece production run.
Imaging Systems: Bridge the Gap Between Innovation & Production.
GE HealthCare’s Waukesha and West Milwaukee imaging hub is in constant motion. CT and MRI platform refreshes, AI-enabled reconstruction modules, SIGNA Champion rollouts and Revolution Apex workflow upgrades create waves of revision-heavy mechanical components that need to move from ECO to high-quality bridge builds without stalling the launch.
Here’s how our manufacturing network can help:
-
Elk Grove Village, IL – Precision CNC turning and machined brackets for GE Wisconsin imaging programs including console skins, structural housings and machined interface hardware.
-
Hartland, WI – Additive manufacturing and bridge polymer parts for rapid ECO iterations on covers, fit-check housings and early-build validation hardware.
-
Denver, CO – Sheet metal panels, enclosure frames and finishing-ready structural content for imaging bridge production sets.
-
Ithaca, NY – Complex bracket fabrication and quick-turn prototype iterations for East Coast engineering and service-readiness validation teams.
Ultrasound & Point-of-Care: Iterate Fast Without Committing to the Wrong Tooling.
Handheld ultrasound platforms like the Vscan Air SL with Caption AI and procedural-guidance solutions from AVS require mechanical accessories that keep pace with rapid software and design iterations. Probe holders, docking systems, sterile-adjacent guides, handheld cradles and ergonomic procedural aids change frequently in early development, faster than offshore tooling or high-volume suppliers can absorb.
Here’s how Fathom’s locations can help simplify your ultrasound and point-of-care supply chains:
-
Round Rock, TX – Housings, additive pilot runs and bridge parts for handheld and point-of-care accessory iterations.
-
Ithaca, NY – Ergonomic prototype loops, fit studies and clinician-feedback hardware for ultrasound accessories and procedural-guidance workflows.
-
Denver, CO – Machined mounts, cart brackets, instrument trays and small fabricated assemblies for procedure room and AVS integration programs.
-
Hartland, WI – Low-volume bridge batches and revision-tolerant runs that let AVS teams validate before committing to final production tooling.
Patient Care Solutions: Keep Launch & Service Programs Moving.
PCS products live in ICUs, operating rooms and step-down floors where serviceability and uptime are clinical requirements, not preferences. Madison-based programs around patient monitoring, anesthesia and Portrait VSM need mechanical hardware that can move from design prototype to controlled production without long tooling delays. They also need to be replenished quickly when field service demand spikes.
Fathom’s extensive portfolio can add a lot of value to PCS:
-
Denver, CO – Sheet-metal cart structures, welded interfaces, machined monitor mounts and secondary fabricated assemblies for PCS monitoring hardware.
-
Hartland, WI – Molded touchpoint plastics, machined handles and additive bridge parts for fast design loops on bezel and ergonomic components.
-
Ithaca, NY – Small, complex bracket production and service-hardware support for precision PCS mechanicals and field-service replacement parts.
-
Round Rock, TX – Fixture sets and line-side aids for assembly, verification and launch-readiness support across PCS new-product programs.
Pharmaceutical Diagnostics: Adjacent Hardware That Keeps GMP Lines Running.
Flyrcado’s FDA approval, the Cork expansion targeting 25 million more patient doses and ongoing PDx hiring across Arlington Heights, Oslo and Lindesnes all signal a business that is scaling fast.
The chemistry stays in-house, but every capacity expansion and new-product introduction creates adjacent needs for transport aids, nests, guards, ergonomic operator tools, inspection fixtures and line-side trays that must be turned quickly, documented cleanly and qualified without touching GMP-critical processes.
Fathom is a purpose-built partner that can help PDx move quickly and confidently:
-
Hartland, WI – Additive nests, guards and ergonomic operator aids for PDx development and validation environments.
-
Denver, CO – Machined stainless and aluminum fixtures, brackets and carts for line-side use adjacent to PDx production operations.
-
Ithaca, NY – Small, complex sheet metal development hardware, fixture revisions and pilot-packaging inserts for PDx workflow stabilization.
-
Round Rock, TX – Validation and inspection tools, secondary-use hardware and fast-turn replacement parts for Cork and Arlington Heights program support.
We’re Already Supporting GE HealthCare Programs. We’re Ready to Do More.
Fathom supports GE HealthCare across imaging, ultrasound and patient care applications, providing the domestic manufacturing depth that keeps revision-heavy programs moving without disrupting core production. Fathom isn’t just a supplier. We act as an extension of your business, a true partner that shows up wherever GE HealthCare sites need manufacturing support:
-
Wisconsin imaging support – Elk Grove, Hartland, Denver and Ithaca can provide CNC, additive, sheet metal and assembly capacity for Waukesha and West Milwaukee programs, including console skins, access panels, structural hardware, cable-routing components and bridge-production spare parts.
-
AVS and ultrasound accessory support – Round Rock, Ithaca and Denver can produce probe holders, docking aids, ergonomic accessories and procedural-guidance hardware for rapid iteration programs.
-
PCS monitoring and anesthesia support – Denver, Hartland and Ithaca can provide monitor brackets, cart hardware, service parts and launch-support tooling for Madison-based PCS programs.
-
PDx adjacent hardware – Hartland, Denver, Ithaca and Round Rock can deliver transport nests, line-side fixtures, operator ergonomic aids and inspection tools for Arlington Heights and international PDx expansion programs.
Case Studies
How Programs Accelerate From Prototype to Production With Fathom
Engineering Is a Partnership. We Treat It That Way.
Fathom is not a transactional machine shop, and we don’t behave like one. Every GE HealthCare program runs through DFM review before quoting. Real engineers review prints for tolerance feasibility, finish compatibility, regulatory requirements and inspection approach. We surface manufacturability issues at print review, not at first-article rejection. Our goal is to ensure that your program ships on time with the required level of quality.
That posture shows up everywhere: a named program contact instead of a ticketing queue. An engineer on the phone the same day. Continuity from prototype through production. The same operating model, the same people, the same documentation thread.
It’s white-glove service applied to regulated medical device manufacturing, and it’s the reason Fathom has been a trusted partner of GE HealthCare for over 20 years.
