Efficient Sourcing of Electric Motorcycle Parts with Xometry

We obtained around 3200 sheet metal parts and they were perfectly within tolerance. As a student team supplied entirely by partnerships, we were especially satisfied with the cost-quality ratio provided by Xometry

Discussions with Servane Freneat (Key Account Manager for France) about the gear knob were crucial in finding the best manufacturing process and achieving a result that was as close as possible to a production part.

Xometry’s flexibility in managing small batch production has been a major asset for us, allowing us to respond quickly to changing market demands. This helps maintain high-quality components while meeting the demands for flexibility and responsiveness.

The main benefit of [working with] Xometry is definitely speed. We had a vast network of vendors in China, which came with its own challenges. We had to manage the vendors and spent a lot of time project managing, QCing, and working through communication challenges. When we approached Xometry, we noticed right away that they gave us a lot of flexibility, especially with our mould tool. Xometry was really in that sweet spot for us. It was helpful to communicate with a partner that really knows engineering and design. The quality and speed from them were just different, which is really important for us because we needed to get the product out this year.

Workplace safety is constantly evolving, and we aim to stay ahead of the curve, providing effective and cost-efficient solutions for workers and businesses alike. We are confident that Xometry will remain a key manufacturing partner in this journey.

When I put it together, you simply can’t imagine how accurate it was … With Xometry as my supplier, we’re certainly ready for mass production.

All the parts are individually packaged (which is quite rare in our sector), with good finishing and great technical support … and, above all, with excellent delivery times.

With regular manufacturers, you have to wait a week to 10 days before you even get a quote, but Xometry is usually already in the middle of production by then.

We’re particularly proud of our binary sum encryption system—engraved into a 50 mm plate. It’s not just a backup—it’s a shield.
