Scewo AG. What if Climbing Stairs Seemed Like Mount Everest to You?

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.

I can tell that there’s a meticulous team working behind the scenes. When we request revisions based on R&D, the team responds quickly and solves the issue without delays.

Xometry proved to be able to maintain good contact and provide fast and professional valuation of any manufacturing job. In many cases the engineers from Xometry did help by consulting on technologies Harpo could use to produce certain elements. The elements Xometry produced for the innovative device were delivered in a short time and for a fair price. The aluminum parts were CNC milled and post-processed by black anodizing.

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.

“Initially, we only needed 1,000 units of the PillCap Smart Pill Bottle. Many manufacturers turned us down due to the small order volume, let alone supporting our POC validation. We found the perfect fit with Xometry. Its on-demand manufacturing model supports custom production starting from just one piece, delivering the flexibility we needed and perfectly matching our fast-paced development timeline.”

In the past, developing non-standard devices was always complicated by the issue of tolerance matching between externally purchased standard parts and custom-machined components. Xometry's one-stop solution perfectly solved this pain point: they not only handled the complex metal 3D printing and sourcing of components but also delivered a finished product that had undergone precision assembly and adjustment. What we received was a functionally ready component that met our precision requirements. This efficient and worry-free delivery experience is exactly what R&D personnel need.

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.

Our project brings biological thinking to a field it rarely touches: thermal engineering. We are developing a thermally conductive nanolayer that coats heat exchange surfaces to combat biofouling and the buildup of dust and sediment.

To turn these components into reality, we required high-precision manufacturing with fast turnaround times. Through Xometry, we produced a brass test chamber for our injector experiments, machined to the specifications needed for our early-stage testing.

Mr. Liang explained that after upgrading his handlebar extensions, mainstream stock bike frames failed to deliver his ideal reach measurement, a critical riding parameter. Shifting the seat position to compensate would compromise pedaling efficiency and alter his entire bike‑fitting data set. Ultimately, he decided to design a custom reach base mount precisely engineered to match his biomechanical requirements.

At this time, we decisively decided to significantly simplify the design, allowing it to achieve higher precision and tolerance control through machining. During the redesign process, we realized that we needed to find a partner capable of manufacturing high-precision prototype parts—so we chose Xometry.
