Use Cases
End-Use Production
Bridge the Gap to Certified Production
- Leverage a network of AS9100D and NADCAP-certified manufacturers to produce parts with full material and process lot traceability.
- Scale from single flight parts to full production runs for aircraft OEMs and satellite operators, utilising CMM and First Article Inspection (FAI) to guarantee quality and safety.
- Sensitive flight hardware data is encrypted and handled only by qualified domestic partners, in full compliance with ITAR and DFARS.
Replacement Parts
Maintain Mission Readiness and Address Obsolescence
- Source mission-critical replacement parts for aging platforms and legacy systems, eliminating supply chain obsolescence.
- Use legacy drawings or reverse-engineering to access hard-to-find components and minimise equipment downtime.
- Support your ongoing needs with secure, scalable production runs through our domestic network.
Real Stories, Real Impact
Scaling Production of High-Precision Hardware
JTW Astronomy (UK) scaled Trident telescope mount production using CNC machining, achieving sub-0.025 mm accuracy to ensure stability for advanced optics.
Accelerating Sourcing for Orbital Research
Atmos (Germany) Overcame rigorous safety requirements for orbital return services by accessing specialised materials compliant with atmospheric re-entry standards.
Accelerating Drone Hardware Development
Xometry manufactured precision components for Mapix’s (UK) LiDAR mapping drones. Our rapid CNC machining and finishing services helped shorten R&D cycles for their advanced mapping systems.
