“When you are operating on a low budget, as many of these BattleBot teams are, every penny is needed.”
“Nicole was absolutely fantastic to work with. She was always on top of any issues we ran into, and made sure that we got all our parts on time. Also a big shout out to Scott Benson for managing a project that had multiple fabrication aspects, from concept generation all the way to packaging and shipping internationally."
“The happiness quotient is increasing at start-ups and decreasing at corporations.”
“The urgency with which Xometry works is part of their DNA. Sometimes we find ourselves begging other companies to sign a PO, but with Xometry, our account manager gets us what we need and in two hours we have an answer to present to our board. Xometry’s attitude is ‘let’s go to work and make it happen."
“In the past we have struggled with getting parts that fit properly. We don’t allow for much variance, so it’s extremely important that Xometry could meet this rigorous standard of consistency.“
“Other rapid tooling shops seem to only accept the very simplest part geometries. Xometry got it done without requiring us to compromise the design intent.”
“Xometry’s hardware enables crucial wearable functionality. Products like these are all about usability and comfort.“
“Xometry provided a spectacular prototyping service. Manufacturing 9 prototypes in 20 days while providing reliable manufacturing and materials feedback helped us test our idea.”
"We’re always on a quest to keep the revenue increasing and push the growth rate higher and higher. We set lofty targets and do our research to keep growing the business."
"The most important part of Xometry is the people -- sales, engineering, accounting, inspection, and case management. Everyone is so positive and always willing to lend a hand. You become part of the family."
“This was the largest investment our company had ever made and Xometry fully delivered.”
“Xometry’s wide breadth of options from 3D printing to CNC machining helped me create the perfect hardware. It’s amazing that they could match my pace and delivery needs so I could save money.”
“In our conversations with restaurateurs, we learned that most chains, even higher-quality ones like Chipotle, do most of their cooking en masse in central kitchens, and only carry out a small set of final steps (heating, plating, etc.) to make customers’ meals on-location. The central kitchens are so efficient that they don’t contribute much in terms of cost per meal – it’s the restaurant locations themselves that incur the lion’s share of the costs of the whole operation despite only performing a small part of the prep process. That helped us realize that a robotic restaurant that could automate those final prep steps could unlock great-quality meals at truly affordable prices. So, we started talking to people with experience in robotics and specifically food automation to figure out whether the problem was a solvable one. We ultimately concluded that it was and that a successful solution was going to come down to two things: reliable autonomy and great food.”
“Nexa3D started in 2016 with a small group of people and a creative and innovative idea to solve a real problem: ‘how can we achieve the printing speed, scale, and throughput that is necessary to make additive manufacturing not just a viable technology, but a truly valuable technology for the industry?’ Nexa3D has grown into a passionate group of people who are dedicated to providing that polymer 3D printing solution that is helping eliminate supply chain complexities in the industry, reduce lead times, cut tooling costs, and allow our customers to quickly and easily access solutions that weren’t previously possible."
“I want everyone to know it's possible to conduct blood transfusions on the field reliably. Admittedly, even a "couple of years ago, this was not possible. Back then, soldiers and civilians had to be rushed to the hospital and hope that they arrived in time. Now, we can bring the blood right to the injured person. This technology is going to save a lot of lives."
