为高级工作场所安全设备获取部件：Genesi & Xometry 择幂科技

钟表协会始终遵循着尊重传统工艺与拥抱现代创新之间的平衡。其中一项创新是采用 3D 打印技术，该技术已成为塑料钟表零件原型制作的宝贵工具。通过 Xometry  择幂科技获取高质量的 3D 打印部件，我们可在开始金属量产前对设计进行高效验证。该方法让我们能以最低材料浪费与成本，优化复杂机械结构（如齿轮组）。

我们已经使用 Xometry 择幂科技多年了，而且我们发现与他们的合作非常简单。他们非常积极地帮助我们寻找工程和制造解决方案，并提供非常准确的交货时间。在极少数情况下出现延误时，他们会及时提前告知并提供可能的替代方案来满足我们的要求

我们的开发流程始于对潜在形状与密封方法的广泛头脑风暴。3D 打印在此阶段发挥关键作用，使我们能在确定最终生产材料前快速测试不同设计方案。由于最终材料在早期原型阶段成本过高且耗时，我们专注于内部制作小比例测试模型，再通过 Xometry 择幂科技生产大尺寸原型以确保便捷与精度。

The lessons we learned go far beyond mechanics. We reflect on three key takeaways: people are the ultimate success factor — both the team and its supporters; divide and conquer: breaking the project into subsystems prevents chaos and enables parallel innovation; and industry partners like Xometry are strategic enablers, not just suppliers.

We make the design, upload it to the Xometry Instant Quoting Engine. We see the price and delivery time immediately. Previously, we had to contact four or five different places separately. Now, we receive ready-to-assemble parts from a single channel.

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.

We obtained around 3200 sheet metal parts and they were perfectly within tolerance. As a student team supplied entirely by partnerships, we were especially satisfied with the cost-quality ratio provided by Xometry.

Every day I come in I know I am going to have five or six jobs on Xometry that I can fit into any free space that I might have out on the floor. It is just really nice to be able to have it , because always in the back of my mind, I’m thinking, ‘Oh man, I have no new orders coming in from my current clients, but I could take this job that's right here [on Xometry] and keep busy for a while.’ That is huge for us.

We are at a lot of trade fairs and the problem is that our systems are rather large. The scaled-down version we have printed with Xometry – with a scale of about 1:10 – is usually around 7 meters long. So it would be quite time-consuming and expensive to present the standard size at trade fairs.
