Speed Up Project Management With On-Demand Manufacturing

At Xometry, we genuinely appreciate the pioneering spirit of inventors, educators, students, and explorers. These are the people building the future of the industry and we want to support them in their effort to make scientific and technological progress.

Xometry provides streamlined access to manufacturing technologies, allowing students to explore, experiment, and bring their ideas to life using techniques ranging from precision CNC machining to rapid 3D printing.

Our global network of over 10,000 carefully vetted manufacturing partners helps to quickly get quotes and source custom parts on demand to innovate and test projects. The platform also provides Design for Manufacturability (DFM) feedback, which makes getting parts an effortless process.

Xometry is granting a 7% discount to students and faculty in academia on custom manufacturing services in Europe. Students and university employees are required to register using university addresses in order to receive the lower rates.

One-Stop Shop for Metal & Plastic Parts

Xometry offers more than 16 manufacturing processes on a single platform, including CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, and 3D printing services. For high-volume parts production, we also offer injection moulding and die casting services. In addition, the platform has a wide selection of metals (aluminium, steel, and stainless steel alloys) and plastics (ABS, POM/Delrin, etc.). And of course, we always find the right provider with free capacity thanks to a network of 2,000 highly-qualified suppliers in Europe and 10,000 manufacturers globally.

Instant Quoting Engine

Simply upload your CAD file, select your manufacturing options, get an instant quote, and order in just a few clicks. You can import multiple designs at once in a single quote and choose the required specifications for each part. Xometry handles the project management, logistics, and shipping, which helps you shorten project times.

DFM Feedbacks

Design for Manufacturing (DFM) is crucial for students in prototyping projects as it ensures that the designed product can be produced in an efficient and cost-effective way using processes like CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, and 3D printing. This is why Xometry helps students optimise their CAD file and ensure the manufacturability of their parts.

Endless Options Available

Choose from thousands of possible combinations of materials, surface finishes, tolerances, and certifications. Xometry offers over 15 manufacturing technologies, over 130 materials (metals and plastics), and custom alternatives to provide a bespoke production experience. Our network can also produce parts with tight tolerances.

Special Finishing Options

Xometry offers a large selection of post-processing options (anodising, polishing, electroplating, powder coating, heat treatment, etc.) as well as custom alternatives. These finishes can improve the aesthetics and mechanical properties, such as biocompatibility, water-resistance, strength, etc.

Rapid Prototyping

At Xometry, we know that creating a proper prototype takes time and money. That’s why we designed our Instant Quoting Engine to help you find the best technical alternatives for your project in just a few clicks. You instantly see the price difference based on your chosen settings. Need some advice? Our sales team and sales engineers can help you throughout the entire manufacturing process—including the design phase.

Quality Assurance & Control

The seamless integration of our Manufacturing Partner Network, the in-house Applications Engineering Team, and the Xometry Quality Assurance Lab enable us to ship every part with confidence under the Xometry Quality Control.
