As a manufacturing startup that once again has that magic touch in knowing what their client base needs due to their own experience within the industry, they’ve designed an advanced method for making advanced manufacturing as easy as possible from their end. That begins with not only a good sense of business and knowing what’s required, but also with a foundation based on real data science used for efficiency and automation, which also allows for extremely competitive pricing.
“I think it’s interesting to note that we have more software developers here than additive engineers,” says Ti Kawamoto, Digital Marketing Manager for Xometry.
“Our platform lets users order prototypes and end-use metal and plastic parts like they would business cards from an online print shop,” said Kawamoto. “While there are a lot of service bureaus out there doing production-quality 3D printing, we consider ourselves an ecommerce company.”
Formerly NextLine Manufacturing, Xometry’s areas of expertise are in allowing for parts within industrial 3D printing and CNC machining services. Geared completely toward ease and convenience for the customer–not themselves–there are no restrictive constraints like set-up costs or minimum order sizes, allowing for more latitude in pricing, ordering, and managing 3D printed parts to be ordered. They offer free shipping for 3D printed parts and also have rapid prototyped parts delivered within one to four business days.
For manufacturing of parts they use:
- Selective laser sintering (SLS)
- Direct metal laser sintering (DMLS)
- Polyjet 3D printing
- Rapid prototyping in CNC manufacturing
Xometry understands that while 3D printing is indeed transforming many sectors, a combination of traditional processes mixed with 3D printing is what is proving very effective for many companies right now in producing high-quality components.
“We integrate 3D printing with traditional manufacturing to produce high volumes of on-demand, unique parts, including custom components and aftermarket parts for legacy systems,” states the Xometry team.
Xometry is committed to producing accurate parts that are superior in durability, whether it’s in a large batch or just a single part. Their team is skilled in using equipment capable of producing complex geometries, and all with quick turnaround that doesn’t sacrifice quality. They offer standard and complex finishes for parts that can be used in end-use, low-volume production.
