Sourcing Parts For Advanced Devices For Workplace Safety: Genesi & Xometry

Founded in 2023, Genesi srl emerged from the expertise of Somain Italia, a company specializing in safety solutions since 2005. The idea behind Genesi was driven by a clear mission: to enhance protection for workers at height across industrial and civil sectors.

We wanted to leverage our years of experience to develop next-generation workplace safety solutions.

Cutting-Edge Products and Technologies

Genesi offers a comprehensive range of fall protection systems, ensuring both safety at height and secure access to confined spaces. Its product lineup includes:

• Anchorage systems, lifelines, guardrails, and walkways
• Rails, ladders, and climbing safety systems
• Personal protective equipment (PPE) such as harnesses, connectors, retractable devices, and lanyards
• Installation, training, and maintenance services to provide complete safety solutions

Each product undergoes a rigorous development process. Designs are first created using advanced simulation software, followed by 3D-printed prototypes to test functionality and refine improvements before industrialization.

A Strategic Partnership with Xometry

A key turning point for Genesi was its partnership with Xometry. “We discovered Xometry through an online search, and it quickly proved to be the ideal partner for manufacturing our 3D-printed and CNC-machined components,” Enzo Cortinovis explains.

Xometry played a crucial role in the production of several safety-critical components, including:

• Mobile Anchor Point XC10A – Designed for use with AluxCrab rigid anchor lines, this device meets EN 795:2012 and CEN/TS 16415:2013 standards. Xometry manufactured the outer casing from AISI316 stainless steel using CNC machining, ensuring exceptional durability and corrosion resistance.
• Guided-Type Fall Arrest Device V-XC10A – Compatible with AluxCrab V and LadderCrab, this system complies with EN353-1:2014+A1:2017. Xometry produced its outer casing from anodized aluminum, ensuring an optimal balance of strength and lightweight performance.
• AluxCrab V Fall Arrest System – A high-performance anchoring system meeting EN353-1:2014+A1:2017 standards. Xometry manufactured the internal aluminum profile using precision laser cutting, improving the system’s locking mechanism and overall performance.
• LadderCrab I with Reclosable Rungs – This solution enhances vertical rail climbing safety and meets EN353-1:2014+A1:2017 and EN14122-4:2016 standards. Xometry fabricated the stainless steel rungs through cutting, welding, and shot peening, ensuring maximum strength and operator safety.
