Editor’s Pick: Artificial intelligence for part quoting services

On-demand manufacturing specialist Xometry introduces Xometry Everywhere, software that can be embedded into product sourcing websites. Xometry says this software can be used by any of the existing instant-quoting websites to add artificial intelligence to its capabilities. 

For example, later this quarter Xometry Everywhere will go active within the Thomasnet.com platform. Currently more than 1.4 million registered users generate more than 20 million sourcing sessions on Thomasnet annually. 

“Xometry Everywhere unlocks the full power of Xometry,” says Xometry CEO Randy Altschuler, “unconstrained by a single site or destination, extending the reach of our powerful quoting engine.” 

Once applied within a sourcing site, Xometry Everywhere offers the full functionality that currently exists only at xometry.com. The company says this includes instant quoting, lead time estimates, instant Design For Manufacturing (DFM) feedback and 3D part viewer capabilities. 

“It is another way in which we are meeting the needs of our buyers to shore up supply chain constraints, while also making it easier for domestic and international manufacturers to grow their own businesses,” adds Altschuler. 

The company says Xometry Everywhere is available to be integrated into all part sourcing websites, and can also be implemented by Fortune 1000 manufacturing companies for their procurement processes. More information is available here.
