Xometry, Siemens Partner for AI-Native Supply Chain Intelligence

Siemens has entered into a strategic partnership with Xometry, a global, AI-native marketplace. The partnership will allow Siemens to embed manufacturability, pricing, sourcing and lifecycle intelligence directly into the design digital thread, natively within Siemens Xcelerator.

This partnership builds on Siemens' supply chain intelligence vision, where Siemens' Supplyframe brings deep design-to-source intelligence across electronic components and Xometry extends that intelligence into standard and custom mechanical parts through its digital marketplace business and Thomas, Xometry's North American industrial sourcing network.

In addition to the integration within Siemens' Designcenter software, the partnership includes integration of Thomas, Xometry's North American industrial sourcing network, with Siemens' Supplyframe to bring design-to-source intelligence for electronic and mechanical components to source the bill of materials for Siemens' customers.

The partnership is accompanied by a minority investment into Xometry of approximately $50 million¹. By integrating design, pricing, sourcing insights and production insights across the digital thread, Siemens and Xometry are creating capabilities that neither company could deliver independently.

"Industrial competitiveness is defined by how fast and how confidently companies can turn digital ideas into physical reality," says Tony Hemmelgarn, president and CEO, Siemens Digital Industries Software. "By infusing Siemens' comprehensive digital twin expertise and industrial AI innovation with large-scale, AI-driven manufacturing intelligence, we're breaking down the boundary between design and production for our customers. Our partnership with Xometry enables us to leverage AI to deliver the intelligence captured from millions of manufactured custom parts directly into the design process, empowering designers to work smarter, faster, and with greater impact."

"Xometry and Siemens share a common opportunity: embed AI directly into the design digital thread, putting manufacturability, pricing, sourcing and execution intelligence in front of engineers at the instant design decisions are made," says Randy Altschuler, co-founder and CEO, Xometry. "Xometry has built and trained its AI-native platform on the real-world complexities of manufacturing, including millions of part files, actual manufacturer feedback and production outcomes at global scale."

Xometry has built its platform on millions of part files, design feedback from real-world manufacturers and production outcomes across a global supplier network of more than 5,000 active suppliers. 

Siemens' customers will have a native integration workflow that will provide access to real-time feedback on design feasibility, manufacturing options, pricing and lead times directly within their existing design and lifecycle workflows.
