“We created a marketplace by creating price clarity where none existed,” said Randy Altschuler, co-founder and CEO of Xometry. “We thought if you can buy groceries and order a car off the internet, then why not custom parts?”
Xometry’s network of manufacturing partners fulfill orders placed through the company’s online platform, which provides pricing, lead times and manufacturability feedback, replacing a previously time-intensive and inefficient process by connecting small- to medium-sized manufacturers to customers in key American industries, including aerospace, automotive, defense, medical, technology and telecommunications. Xometry acts as the network orchestrator, enabling engineers and designers to connect with vetted manufacturers who can produce quality parts, according to a press release from the company.
