In this work the process from a CAD model to a full functionally prototype using the ongoing manufacturing methods are shown. Therefore, a new surgical micro-scale tip for laparo-endoscopic interventions is developed. The instruments tip allows movement and manipulation with two wrist joints and a gripper. The joints as well as the gripper are cable driven through the instruments shaft. The main topic of this publication is the processing of this micro-scale instrument tip using various production methods for prototyping, e.g. milling, fused deposition modeling, and micro selective laser melting.
