Access to Massive Manufacturing Network Enables KOPI Concepts to Scale-up Coffee Grinder with Ease

“Xometry’s engineers took the initiative to help me solve technical problems and provided plenty of professional advice on optimizing the manufacturing details of the shell design. They responded to my feedback and solved issues in the first place, which is truly rare in this industry.”

Xometry didn’t just deliver parts—they helped validate material choices, fine-tune the mechanical design, and streamline Yoseyomo’s path to market. And throughout, the Instant Quoting Engine played a key role.

TRÖTE began with a bold question I asked myself: Can sound become a physical form? This challenge brought together traditional craftsmanship, acoustic science, and advanced manufacturing. Rather than hide components inside a box, I wanted TRÖTE to showcase its structure — making each element part of a visual and acoustic story.

The company near me was interested in my project, but from the start I was told that it would be too expensive. This is where Xometry's strength lies: the network and the ability to have the parts machined by the most suitable company lets you offer attractive prices.

And then I saw that you were doing work for the nuclear industry. As I know the nuclear industry myself and the requirements in terms of quality, materials and precision, I knew that there wouldn’t be any problems in terms of skills and product quality.

Xometry is the company that made it the easiest. I talked to a few different companies, and Xometry felt like the best fit for me. A lot of these decisions do come down to who do I want to work with long term, so who do I get the best feeling from and who feels like they understand the product and are excited about it and want to be involved as well.

It’s not the first time that I ordered from Xometry and I am always happy with your services. You can get parts quite fast at reasonable costs. That’s what I needed with this project. I think I got my parts within about a week and in the meantime I got everything else ready, like renders and marketing materials to prepare for the launch.

On the same day the first parts arrived, I checked them and they were perfect! Then I filmed the video to announce the product launch.

Black Tea Motorbikes, a Munich-based startup founded in 2020, builds retro-inspired electric Café Racer motorcycles with production in Bavaria. With Xometry's sheet metal fabrication and CNC machining, they produce complex multi-bend frame components requiring tight design tolerances. Parts are ordered in small batches of 20 units, enabling flexible production scheduling and optimized cash flow.

Finding a competent supplier was a key requirement for me, so I started looking around and found Xometry that seemed to cater for absolutely everything I was looking for, but I couldn’t believe they could produce all the parts I needed so well and so inexpensively. When the first boxes arrived in January, I was afraid to open them, because if the quality wasn’t good enough I wouldn't have anywhere else to go to. But when I put it together, you simply can’t imagine how accurate it was. It is a wonderful experience to use Xometry as a supplier, I don’t have to worry about the quality anymore. I’ve done my job as an engineer, you’ve done yours as a supplier, we are ready to assist in fighting this terrible pandemic.

With Xometry, we don’t have to go through that,” referring to simplified and faster quoting and manufacturing.

he project had a very ambitious timeline since we had to plan, produce, test and ship our complex machine all within one year. The short and scheduled delivery times from Xometry were a great help in achieving this. We were also really satisfied with the quality of the parts provided by Xometry.

With Xometry, we have found a manufacturing partner that supports our development philosophy. The ability to quickly and precisely order small batches of parts gives us the freedom to iteratively improve our robots. This flexibility is essential to our innovation process.

The transition to electric has been a steep learning curve, but what keeps us moving forward is our ability to adapt and to work closely as a team. Every mistake or setback becomes a lesson that makes us stronger. Even when continuity is difficult, with experienced members graduating and new ones joining, the project itself becomes the bridge, carrying knowledge and experience forward.
