We keep production lines running by utilizing our massive manufacturing network capacity of 10,000+ domestic and international facilities, which allows us to provide unparalleled supply chain resiliency and redundancy. Our dedicated project managers are prepared for anything and everything; if something threatens your project’s timeline, they take action to get it back on track without you needing to lift a finger.
How Xometry Production Works
Pre-Production Rapid Prototyping Services
Xometry’s offerings span all stages of product development, including the crucial prototyping phase, often the first step towards getting a product’s design to a production-ready state. We offer several rapid prototyping services that allow you to get components in hand within days for testing and evaluation. Advancements in additive manufacturing technology have made 3D printing a go-to choice for rapid prototyping; parts can be made quickly and affordably in various metals and plastics. Xometry offers eight different 3D printing processes perfect for prototyping or low-volume production.
Other common rapid prototyping processes we offer besides 3D printing include CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, and rapid injection molding. Visit our Rapid Prototyping Service page to learn more about each option.
Low Volume Production Services
Our low volume production services are a great way to bridge development between the prototyping and full-scale production stages. We can match the cadence of your product’s demand and gradually ramp up production as needed, all while optimizing the manufacturing process along the way. These services are often used to gauge market success before investment into expensive high-volume tooling is made, thus reducing your costs and risks.
Our CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, urethane casting, and additive manufacturing services are popular choices for low volume production. We can quickly get production underway with these options, allowing you to penetrate the market faster. These options are also great for just-in-time inventory management systems and offer more flexibility in design alterations. We utilize intelligent batching and parallel production to scale according to your needs. We can also handle post-processing, such as anodizing, metal plating, painting, and more.
High Volume Production Services
When ready for full-scale production, look no further than our high volume services. We offer some of the manufacturing industry’s most routine methods for producing parts in vast quantities. From plastic and metal injection molding to die casting to metal stamping and extrusion, we can support anywhere from a few thousand to a few million parts per year.
Injection molding and its parts are all around us in our everyday lives, and it remains one of the most versatile and popular choices among our high-volume processes. We offer 50+ molding plastics and can hold feature tolerances as low as ±0.002″. With metal injection molding, die casting, extrusion, and stamping, we can create precise and complex metal parts in large numbers quickly. Explore the unique benefits of each via the links below.
Choosing Between Production Processes
There are dozens of ways a component can be made. Xometry’s experts can guide you on which process and material will perform best in the final environment. Historically, injection molding has been a go-to for scaling up lightweight, durable plastic parts. CNC machining and sheet metal fabrication technology are typical processes for precision metal parts with strict material requirements. 3D printing technology is now advanced enough to be a solid choice for engineers searching for parts with strong mechanical qualities but with a much cheaper price tag.
We’ve compiled the table below to help guide you on which production path and process may be best for you based on the capacity and scalability you need.
| Final Production Process | Annual Capacity | Scalability | Validate Early Using : |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plastic Injection Molding | 500 - 1,000,000+ | Mid - Very High | Plastic 3D Printing, Prototype Injection Molding, Urethane Casting |
| Metal Injection Molding | 2,000 - 1,000,000 | Mid - Very High | CNC Machining, Metal 3D Printing |
| Metal Casting (Die, Investment, Etc.) | 500 - 1,000,000 | Mid - Very High | CNC Machining, Metal 3D Printing |
| Metal Stamping | 500 - 1,000,000+ | Mid - Very High | Sheet Metal Fabrication, Sheet Cutting |
| CNC Machining | 1 - 100,000 | Low - High | CNC Machining |
| Additive Manufacturing / 3D Printing | 1 - 10,000 | Low - Mid | 3D Printing |
This table depicts the typical annual capacity and scalability of the above industrial manufacturing processes. Learn more about our manufacturing standards.
Repeat Orders & Same-Suppliers
One of our goals is to provide our customers with a consistent manufacturing experience and give our manufacturing suppliers steady opportunities. Often, having repeat work completed at the same facility can be a win-win for all parties. It’s not always guaranteed that the same supplier will work on a repeat order, but we are happy to accommodate same-supplier orders if desired.
We are also flexible with incorporating revision changes to repeat work when required. Xometry’s platform makes maintaining part revisions, part production history, and setting up repeat orders a straightforward process. To learn more about handling part revisions and same-supplier requests for repeat orders, check out our FAQ article.
