Industrial 3D Printing Service Online

Selecting the right 3D printing process depends on your project’s requirements, such as material, part complexity, mechanical properties, and desired surface finish. Explore our 3D Printing Decision Guide to help you compare technologies to ensure the ideal match for your application.

Yes, Xometry specializes in both rapid prototyping and scalable mass production. For mass production, 3D printing is used to create complex geometries, reduce tooling costs, and enable efficient on-demand manufacturing. Suitable technologies include Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) and Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) for high-volume plastic parts.

We offer flexible quoting options for different project volumes. Use our AI-Powered Instant Quoting Engine for immediate estimates on prototypes and small-to-mid-sized batches (up to 1,000 pieces or £10,000). For larger volumes, including over 1,000 pieces or £10,000, we provide manual quotes within 24–48 hours.

Yes, we offer support at multiple stages to ensure the best outcome for your project:

• Automated DFM feedback: Our instant quoting engine provides automated Design for Manufacturability (DFM) feedback, highlighting potential issues with your design and selected 3D printing process.
• Preliminary Manufacturability Check: Before production begins, we conduct a detailed review of your design. If any changes are necessary, we’ll reach out to collaborate on adjustments.
• Expert Guidance for corporate customers:   Our 3D printing experts are available to help optimise your design and guide material selection based on your project’s specific needs.

Yes, Xometry can produce multi-colour objects using technologies like PolyJet and Multi Jet Fusion (MJF). Additionally, we offer post-processing options (painting and dyeing) to achieve custom colours and refine the finish of your 3D printed parts. Upload colour-supported file formats like OBJ or 3MF to get started.

We offer 35 plastics, elastomers, and metals for instant quoting, each with unique properties such as strength, heat resistance, flame retardancy, flexibility, and more.

If you need a custom material, we can provide a quote within 24–48 hours. In most cases, if the material is supported by one of the 3D printing technologies we offer, we can produce it through our manufacturing network.

Xometry offers instant quotes for post-processing options such as bead blasting, media tumbling, vapor smoothing, dyeing in various colours, and spray painting with custom RAL colour options. These enhancements improve the appearance and functionality of your 3D-printed parts.

For any custom post-processing needs, we can provide a quote within 24–48 hours upon request.

The maximum size of a 3D-printed object depends on the technology used. For example, with Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), we can print parts up to 900x900x600 mm, while Stereolithography (SLA) supports maximum dimensions of 736x533x635 mm.

We maintain the standards of quality through ISO 9001:2015 certified processes, a network of vetted manufacturing partners, and rigorous inspections. Upon request, we can provide detailed inspection reports, including analyses from in-house and external labs.

Yes, Xometry offers metal 3D printing using Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) technology. We provide a variety of metals, including aluminium, stainless steel, tool steel, titanium, and inconel, suitable for creating prototypes and end-use parts.

Yes, transparent and translucent parts can be printed using SLA (Stereolithography) technology with desktop and industrial transparent ABS-like materials, Flexible 80A Resin, and Silica Glass. These materials provide options for high resolution, smooth surfaces, stiffness, flexibility, and chemical resistance, catering to diverse applications.
