Xometry

Xometry is an AI-powered marketplace that connects companies to a global network of manufacturers. You upload your design, get an instant quote, and get precision parts made. They handle CNC machining, 3D printing, sheet metal fabrication, injection molding, and everything in between. No minimums, no guesswork.

They've shipped 150M+ parts to 81,000+ buyers—from startups to Fortune 500 companies. The platform manages everything from prototype runs to high-volume production. Parts arrive with sub-±0.001" accuracy and full traceability. They're ISO 9001, AS9100D, IATF certified. Real customers have built lunar landers, electric motorcycles, and defense systems with parts from their network.

The company went public in 2021 and now has 1,500+ team members globally. They run AI-powered quoting, manage supplier networks across North America and growing globally, and are expanding into digital transformation of manufacturing. Their business model is straightforward: they take commission on orders while giving manufacturers direct access to buyers. Founded in 2013, they've been around long enough to understand manufacturing, agile enough to stay ahead of change.

For APAC remote workers, Xometry is interesting because manufacturing is global. If you're building hardware—whether in Singapore, Vietnam, or anywhere else in Southeast Asia—you need reliable sourcing partners. Xometry removes friction from that process. They're hiring globally and operate across multiple regions, though their main supplier network is US and Europe-focused (something to know if you're sourcing domestically in SEA).
