What Is Xometry?
Xometry is an AI-powered online marketplace for custom manufacturing. It helps engineers, designers, and purchasing teams upload a part design, get a price and lead-time estimate, place an order, and have the part made by a suitable manufacturing partner in Xometry’s supplier network. The platform, moreover, helps a company find another factory or machine shop to make a part for them. Typical users include product designers and mechanical engineers, and hardware startups. Procurement and supply chain teams, automotive, aerospace, medical-device, robotics, and industrial companies.
What Is Xometry Best For?
One of the main Xometry’s standout feature is its Instant Quoting Engine®. Normally, a company needing a custom part sends drawings to several machine shops, then waits for each shop to review the design, and sometimes they receive quotations days later. Xometry shortens this whole process. A user uploads a 3D CAD design file of the part they need, then selects options such as the manufacturing process, material, quantity, finish, and inspection requirements. The platform quickly provides an estimated price; production lead time, and design engineers and product developers can also rapidly prototype because they get real-time design-for-manufacturing (DFM) feedback.
How Much Does Xometry Cost?
Xometry does not charge any subscription or usage fees; its AI-powered platform and Instant Quoting Engine are free. You only pay for the individual parts you order, which are dynamically priced based on your design files.
Since there's no published catalog price, the following are planning estimates, benchmarked against comparable direct manufacturer quotes:
- Simple 3D-Printed Prototype - Approx. $30-$200/part
- CNC-Machined Prototype – Approx. $150-$800+/part
- Sheet-Metal Prototype - Approx. $100-$600+/part, depending on bends, welding, and finish
- Low-Volume CNC Batch - Typically 15-40% lower unit price than a one-off quote
Reddit users generally describe Xometry's pricing as competitive for standard work like 3D printing and urethane molding, often beating alternatives platforms. But outside their standard material list, pricing gets inconsistent, with some users reporting the same part quoted three times the price just weeks later.

How Does Xometry Work?
Here's how you can access the platform and start using its features:
- Log in to your account, or create one and add billing contact information
- Upload your 3D CAD file, in most standard formats, to your personal dashboard
- Configure your part by selecting the manufacturing process, material, finish, quantity, and inspection requirements
- Review automated DFM (design for manufacturability) feedback to catch file issues before ordering
- Choose your lead time, standard, expedited, or economy, depending on cost and timing needs
- Head to checkout, or forward the quote to a purchaser or team member for approval
- Track your order status from the Order History page once it's assigned to a vetted supplier

Xometry Use Cases
Based on our analysis of Xometry features and platform capabilities, we have identified key scenarios where this software is a strong fit for:
Prototype Part Manufacturing
Before a company launches a new product, it needs to test the physical design. A team may need to check whether a part fits with other components, whether it is strong enough, whether it looks correct, or whether it can be assembled easily. The first design often needs changes, so the company may need several versions of the same part before approving the final design. By using the software, the team can upload the part design, select a process such as 3D printing or CNC machining, and order a small number of test parts from Xometry’s manufacturing network.
Design Testing Before Production
A part can look correct in a computer design but fail in real use. It may not fit, may be too weak, may overheat, may be difficult to assemble, or may cost too much to manufacture. Companies need physical samples, so engineers can test the product before committing money to a large production order or expensive tooling. Xometry provides manufacturability feedback, pricing, and sample-part production, helping the team test a design before ordering a larger quantity.
Production Capacity Support
Some companies own a factory or work with regular suppliers, but when those suppliers are fully booked, and the product demand may suddenly increase, the business needs to meet customer orders. At that time companies didn't want to wait for new machinery or neither did they have time to build a new relationship with supplier. What they can do is send the part design to Xometry and use its external manufacturing network as additional production capacity.
Complex Or Large-Part Manufacturing
Some parts require a machine size, material, tolerance, or manufacturing capability that a company’s local suppliers do not have. And finding a suitable manufacturer can take time, particularly for unusually large components, precise parts, or projects with special inspection requirements. For example, an aerospace organization may need a large CNC-machined component with precise sealing surfaces and tight tolerances. Xometry can source the request through its manufacturing network and match it to a supplier with the required equipment and capability.
Is Xometry Right For You?
Xometry is likely right for you if you need custom parts made by outside manufacturers and want a faster way to get prices, lead times, and production capacity. It is less suitable if you mainly need software to run your own factory, manage your own machines, or handle very high-volume commodity production.
Xometry holds top industry certifications for quality and cybersecurity, including ISO 9001, ISO 13485, IATF 16949, AS9100D, ITAR, and CMMC Level 2. For you as a buyer, this means you can safely order parts for highly regulated industries like defense, medical, and aerospace, with a strict guarantee that your designs are kept secure from hackers and your parts are built to exact legal and safety standards.

Xometry Features
Instant Quoting Engine®
Instant Quoting Engine® is Xometry’s online quoting tool. A buyer uploads a 3D CAD file, selects requirements such as the manufacturing process, material, quantity, tolerances, finish, inspection, and delivery preferences, and receives pricing and lead-time information. The tool can also provide design-for-manufacturability feedback, meaning it can point out design details that may be difficult, slow, or expensive to make. Because of that, engineers can check whether a design is practical before ordering it, while procurement teams can obtain pricing faster without sending the same drawing to many different suppliers.
Request A Quote
Request a quote is for projects that are too complex for a simple self-service instant quote. A buyer can upload multiple part files, technical drawings, assemblies, requirements, and supporting documents, then ask Xometry’s team to prepare a managed quote. For example, a buyer needs five different parts made to build one product. They could quote each part separately and hope everything fits together at the end. Or they could submit all five as one project, and Xometry's team prices and manage them together, as a single order.
Manufacturing Region Control (MRC)
Manufacturing region control (MRC) gives buyers control over where their custom parts are manufactured. The buyer can choose eligible manufacturing regions when configuring an order, balancing cost, speed, supply-chain preferences, and regional requirements. Because sometimes buyers prefer domestic manufacturing for faster shipping. And in other situation buyer may choose international manufacturing when cost is more important and the lead time allows it. The software gave them the authority to control that process.
Tool Library And Tool Detail Pages
Xometry’s Tool Library and Tool Detail Pages help companies organize and track the physical tools and molds used for manufacturing. Each tool record can include its name, ID, manufacturing process, status, owner, related quotes and orders, parts produced with the tool, and project milestones. This gives product development and procurement teams a central place to manage reusable manufacturing tools and monitor their status across projects.
Production Service
Production Service is Xometry’s offering for repeat orders and production parts rather than only one-off prototypes. It covers manufacturing methods such as injection molding, die casting, stamping, CNC machining, and 3D printing. It helps companies move from prototype development to low- or medium-volume production while continuing to use the same platform for approved parts. Teams can order larger quantities for customer delivery, service inventory, or ongoing production.
