How Glaskeil Uses Xometry for Reliable Procurement of Precision Metal Parts

A lot of the credit goes to Xometry, as they were able to deliver about 2,000 parts in 6 weeks, an extremely demanding timeline.

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.

For Jerome Lim, CEO of KINGS Marine, the challenge of modern manufacturing isn’t just about the quality of the final part—it’s about the efficiency of the journey to get there. By integrating Xometry’s digital sourcing platform into their workflow, KINGS Marine has successfully completed a dozen of CNC machining projects, replacing traditional procurement bottlenecks with a high-speed, cost-effective, and reliable supply chain solution.

Collaborating with Xometry allows us to concentrate more on our core R&D, saving substantial time and significantly boosting project efficiency.

One of the main reasons was your Instant Quoting Engine, which impressed us and helped us a lot … in zero time, I can get a quote for 1, 10 or 100 pieces, and test how much it might cost to produce with one material over another.

With Xometry, we don’t have to go through that,” referring to simplified and faster quoting and manufacturing.

The communication with Xometry is very good! There is perhaps a misconception that Xometry is a web based service, so you get very little human interaction. This is certainly not the case: we have an account manager assigned to us who is very approachable and responsive.

We are at a lot of trade fairs and the problem is that our systems are rather large. The scaled-down version we have printed with Xometry – with a scale of about 1:10 – is usually around 7 meters long. So it would be quite time-consuming and expensive to present the standard size at trade fairs

If it’s not close enough to the reference model, Xometry is very helpful and we get a new one based on our feedback until we’re completely sure that’s the right quality we want. Xometry is always there to help us and is focused on delivering the best possible solution.

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.

Xometry makes the process of sourcing custom and serial parts much easier. … Xometry helps me get fair prices for the CNC machined parts compared to when I would go to a random manufacturer I don’t have a relationship with.

We didn’t expect the case to be a key feature of the device, but the customers thought otherwise. It was a real innovation in terms of design…
