How RobCo Uses Xometry for Fast and Flexible Part Sourcing in Modular Industrial Robotics

RobCo develops modular industrial robots that automate repetitive, simple – and even highly complex – tasks in manufacturing. Based in Munich, the company was founded to address one of the most pressing challenges in the industry: the skilled labor shortage.

Scalable Manufacturing for a Scalable Robotics Platform

RobCo offers modular robotics solutions tailored to customer needs. The company has grown rapidly – from three founders and two working students to over 140 employees – and delivers automation technology to customers across industries.

At the heart of the business is maximum flexibility. Especially in project-based work – custom solutions built around the company’s standard robotics platform – rapid response to change is critical. New requirements, design changes and evolving use cases are part of the daily routine.

Meeting Customer Needs – Even at the Last Minute

“Just when a project seems finished, a customer often comes back with a change request – and rightfully so,” the team explains. In these moments, RobCo relies on manufacturing partners who can act fast.

Xometry is exactly that kind of partner. The platform comes into play whenever RobCo needs parts quickly – whether for prototypes, zero-series, pre-series, or project-specific changes. Especially when only small quantities are needed, Xometry is the go-to solution.

Storage space at RobCo is limited, so large batch orders are not an option. On-demand part sourcing is essential – and Xometry enables exactly that.

How RobCo Uses Xometry in Practice

The Xometry ordering process is a key advantage: simply upload a CAD file, configure options online, compare prices, and order instantly.

When deadlines are tight, RobCo also takes advantage of Xometry’s express manufacturing option, which often delivers parts in seven days or less.

Faster, Safer Development: How RobCo Accelerates Innovation

Thanks to Xometry, RobCo can respond quickly to changing project demands – with full cost transparency and reliable lead times. The flexibility of digital manufacturing allows the company to remain agile, even in technically complex projects.
