The company has grown rapidly \u2013 from three founders and two working students to over 140 employees \u2013 and delivers automation technology to customers across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the heart of the business is <strong>maximum flexibility<\/strong>. Especially in project-based work \u2013 custom solutions built around the company\u2019s standard robotics platform \u2013 rapid response to change is critical. New requirements, design changes and evolving use cases are part of the daily routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Meeting Customer Needs \u2013 Even at the Last Minute<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;Just when a project seems finished, a customer often comes back with a change request \u2013 and rightfully so,&#8221;<\/em> the team explains. In these moments, RobCo relies on manufacturing partners who can act fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Xometry is exactly that kind of partner.<\/strong> The platform comes into play whenever RobCo needs parts quickly \u2013 whether for prototypes, zero-series, pre-series, or project-specific changes. Especially when only small quantities are needed, Xometry is the go-to solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Storage space at RobCo is limited, so large batch orders are not an option. On-demand part sourcing is essential \u2013 and Xometry enables exactly that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"803\" src=\"https:\/\/xometry.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/RobCo-modular-industrial-robot-arms-1440x803.png\" alt=\"Two RobCo modular industrial robot arms standing in a bright, clean production facility with storage shelving and electrical control units.\" class=\"wp-image-173653\" style=\"object-fit:cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xometry.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/RobCo-modular-industrial-robot-arms-1440x803.png 1440w, https:\/\/xometry.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/RobCo-modular-industrial-robot-arms-480x268.png 480w, https:\/\/xometry.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/RobCo-modular-industrial-robot-arms-768x428.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Two RobCo modular industrial robot arms.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How RobCo Uses Xometry in Practice<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Xometry ordering process is a key advantage: simply upload a CAD file, configure options online, compare prices, and order instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n    <section class=\"article-author-block\">\r\n        <div class=\"article-content-wrapper\">\r\n            <div class=\"author-block\">\r\n                                        <div class=\"author-info\">\r\n                            <h4 class=\"author-name\">Sebastian Wildner<\/h4>\r\n                            <p class=\"author-position\">Head of Supply Chain<\/p>\r\n                        <\/div>\r\n                                    <\/div>\r\n                <div class=\"quote-block\" style=\"border-color: #0E6AED;\">\r\n                    <p>As a small, agile team, we need efficient workflows \u2013 and Xometry absolutely delivers.<\/p>\n                <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/section>\r\n\n\n\n<p>When deadlines are tight, RobCo also takes advantage of <strong>Xometry\u2019s express manufacturing option<\/strong>, which often delivers parts in seven days or less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"805\" src=\"https:\/\/xometry.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/RobCo-high-precision-CNC-machined-1440x805.png\" alt=\"Top-down view of a high-precision CNC machined metal component for a RobCo robot, showing a circular arrangement of bolts and a polished silver finish.\" class=\"wp-image-173677\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xometry.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/RobCo-high-precision-CNC-machined-1440x805.png 1440w, https:\/\/xometry.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/RobCo-high-precision-CNC-machined-480x268.png 480w, https:\/\/xometry.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/RobCo-high-precision-CNC-machined-768x429.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Top-down view of a high-precision CNC machined metal component for a RobCo robot.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Faster, Safer Development: How RobCo Accelerates Innovation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to Xometry, RobCo can respond quickly to changing project demands \u2013 with full cost transparency and reliable lead times.
