Xometry

Xometry is an on-demand manufacturing platform that connects engineers, product designers, and procurement teams with a distributed network of qualified manufacturers. Its primary purpose is to streamline the sourcing of custom parts, from rapid prototypes to full-scale production, through an instant-quoting, digital workflow. Users can upload CAD files directly to receive pricing, lead times, and manufacturability feedback within minutes.

The platform supports a wide range of processes, including CNC machining, 3D printing (SLA, SLS, MJF, FDM, DMLS, and others), sheet metal fabrication, injection molding, urethane casting, and laser/waterjet cutting. Xometry’s quoting engine evaluates geometry, materials, and tolerances to recommend suitable manufacturing methods and highlight potential design issues. It offers an extensive material library, covering metals, plastics, elastomers, and high-performance engineering resins, along with finishing options like anodizing, plating, painting, and custom coatings. Integrated quality controls, inspection options, and traceability features help ensure parts meet specified tolerances and industry standards.
