Xometry, the online marketplace for on demand manufacturing and a connector for buyers and suppliers of custom manufacturing, is aligning itself as a key supplier for the growing data centre industry.
It’s an interesting move, but one that could prove a profitable differentiator in the now crowded online on demand manufacturing marketplace sector that Xometry first helped define in the 2010s.
Xometry’s ability to provide scalable, precision-machined, moulded and 3D printed components for all industries is being focussed on serving the global data centre market – where capacity is expected to double by 2030, and nearly $3 trillion in infrastructure investment is creating an unprecedented demand for custom-engineered components.
Xometry data centre aspirations have seen it already working with hundreds of OEMs to deliver components to aid power distribution and liquid cooling to structural enclosures and cable management, with the goal to aid customers attain reduced deployment timelines while maintaining design standardisation across sites.
“The traditional manufacturing procurement process is struggling to keep pace with the growth in AI infrastructure,” said Xometry president Sanjeev Singh Sahni.
“Xometry closes that gap, giving engineers and procurement teams a single platform to source, qualify, and scale every component their build requires, with the compliance documentation and supply chain visibility that programs demand. Our multi-process capabilities have evolved rapidly to keep pace with infrastructure demands, delivering the speed, precision, and scalability required to produce high-performance components at the volume data centres need.”
Founded in 2013 as NextLine Manufacturing Corp. its 2015 rebrand to Xometry and investment from the likes of BMW iVentures and GE Ventures means its digital marketplace today connecting engineers with a vast network of on-demand manufacturers.
