Xometry is expanding materials, process controls and compliance options on its AI-driven manufacturing marketplace, targeting more complex requirements in aerospace, defence and medical manufacturing.

The global manufacturing marketplace Xometry has announced a series of platform enhancements aimed at supporting increasingly complex manufacturing requirements, particularly in aerospace, defence and medical technology. The updates focus on expanded material availability, greater control over manufacturing specifications and improved compliance options.

Xometry stated that the latest developments are designed to help engineers and procurement teams respond to rapid changes in materials, processes and supply chain requirements, while maintaining speed and flexibility in sourcing.

Expanded additive manufacturing materials

To address demand for high-performance applications, Xometry has expanded its additive manufacturing material portfolio available through the Instant Quoting Engine. In December 2025, the company added eight new materials across Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) and Stereolithography (SLA).

The expanded FDM range now includes PETG, Nylon 6 CF, Stratasys Antero 800NA, Antero 840CN03, PAEK Victrex AM 200, Ultem 1010 CG and ABS-CF10. In parallel, the SLA portfolio has been extended with Accura SL 5530, designed for high-temperature resistance and demanding fluid applications. According to Xometry, these materials are particularly relevant for aerospace, defence, medical device and automotive applications.

Greater control in CNC machining and sourcing

Xometry has also introduced new options to give customers more control over how parts are manufactured. A new “Preferred Subprocess” feature within the automated quoting platform allows CNC machining customers to specify exact machining approaches while retaining instant pricing and lead-time visibility.

In addition, new tolerance options have been added for less critical components. Customers can now select tolerances of ±0.010 inches for metal parts and ±0.020 inches for plastic parts. Xometry reports that the use of these options results in an average price reduction of around five percent on applicable components.

Compliance and security options

To support customers in regulated sectors, Xometry highlighted its achievement of CMMC Level 2 certification in early 2025. This enables aerospace and defence customers to select CMMC requirements directly during the quoting process, alongside other certifications and qualifications.

Further sourcing controls are also planned. Xometry announced that it will introduce enhanced geographic sourcing options, allowing buyers to specify permitted and restricted production regions in line with compliance, risk management and cost considerations.

Platform strategy

The new features build on Xometry’s 2025 launches, including Instant Quoting for injection moulding in the United States and the global rollout of its Teamspace collaboration tools.

Commenting on the update, Sanjeev Singh Sahni, President at Xometry, said: “The demands of custom manufacturing are evolving faster than ever before. By expanding our material selection and giving buyers more choices, we are continuing to broaden our role as a leader in manufacturing transformation leveraging our core in AI, machine learning and marketplace intelligence.”
