Xometry Marketplace Enhances Manufacturing Demands in 2026

Xometry, Inc., a global AI-powered marketplace connecting buyers and suppliers of custom manufacturing, reports several recent platform enhancements.

Expanded High-Performance Materials

Xometry has expanded its additive manufacturing capabilities available directly through the Xometry Instant Quoting Engine.

• In December 2025, Xometry introduced eight new materials across Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) and Stereolithography (SLA) additive manufacturing technologies. The expanded FDM catalog now includes PETG, Nylon 6 CF, Stratasys Antero 800NA, Antero 840CN03, PAEK VICTREX AM 200, ULTEM 1010 CG, and ABS-CF10. In addition, Xometry enhanced its SLA offerings with the introduction of Accura SL 5530, a material engineered for high-temperature resistance.

Enhanced Flexibility in Manufacturing Selection

Xometry is also enabling buyers to choose how and where their parts are made.

• Enhanced Control in CNC Machining: Xometry has launched a “Preferred Subprocess” feature within its automated quoting platform. This update allows CNC customers to specify exact machining approaches while maintaining instant pricing and lead times.
• Additional Tolerance Options: Xometry has introduced new “looser” tolerance options (±.010” for metals and ±.020” for plastics).
• CMMC-Certified Manufacturing Selection: Xometry achieved CMMC Level 2 certification in early 2025, strengthening its ability to support aerospace and defense customers with stringent DoD security requirements. Customers can now select CMMC requirements during the quoting process.
• Global Sourcing Selection (Coming Soon): Xometry will expand its sourcing controls to give buyers more granular authority over production geography, including the ability to designate permitted and restricted regions in line with compliance, risk, and cost considerations.

These latest updates build upon the 2025 launches of Instant Quoting for Injection Molding in the United States and the global expansion of the Teamspace collaboration suite.
