About the Company

Xometry

On-demand custom manufacturing platform with supplies

Xometry operates an online marketplace that connects customers with a network of manufacturers for on-demand production services. Customers upload design files and receive instant quotes for manufacturing processes such as 3D printing, CNC machining, injection molding, and sheet metal fabrication. The company leverages its broad partner network to offer parts quickly and at competitive prices, with no minimum order requirements. In addition to manufacturing services, Xometry sells industrial supplies—raw materials, tooling, and MRO products—through its Supplies Flex program, which lets customers lock in material pricing and pay in installments. The business earns revenue from transaction fees on manufacturing work and direct sales of supplies. The goal is to provide reliable, fast access to custom parts and materials for small businesses, large companies, and individual entrepreneurs by offering a simple, transparent marketplace and flexible pricing options.
