 Instant Quoting Engine

Instant Quoting Engine

Simply upload your CAD file, select your manufacturing options, get an instant quote, and order in just a few clicks. You can import multiple designs at once in a single quote and choose the required specifications for each part. Xometry handles the project management, logistics, and shipping, which helps you shorten project times.

DFM Feedbacks

DFM Feedbacks

Design for Manufacturing (DFM) is crucial for students in prototyping projects as it ensures that the designed product can be produced in an efficient and cost-effective way using processes like CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, and 3D printing. This is why Xometry helps students optimise their CAD file and ensure the manufacturability of their parts.

Endless Options Available

Endless Options Available

Choose from thousands of possible combinations of materials, surface finishes, tolerances, and certifications. Xometry offers over 15 manufacturing technologies, over 130 materials (metals and plastics), and custom alternatives to provide a bespoke production experience. Our network can also produce parts with tight tolerances.

 Special Finishing Options

Special Finishing Options

Xometry offers a large selection of post-processing options (anodising, polishing, electroplating, powder coating, heat treatment, etc.) as well as custom alternatives. These finishes can improve the aesthetics and mechanical properties, such as biocompatibility, water-resistance, strength, etc.
