NTMA and Xometry announce partnership

The National Tooling and Machining Association (NTMA) and Xometry, a marketplace for custom-manufactured parts, announced today a partnership to provide NTMA members with greater access to manufacturing jobs through the Xometry Partner Network.

Xometry's instant quoting platform allows customers to order custom parts online. The parts then are sourced through the hundreds of vetted manufacturers across the U.S. that are part of the Xometry Partner Network. There is no cost for manufacturers to join and accept jobs on the network and there is no bidding. Partners can choose to accept only the jobs they want, when it works for them.

Xometry’s current manufacturing capabilities include precision manufacturing, CNC machining, sheet metal, 3-D printing, and casting jobs. While the Xometry Partner Network is open to all manufacturers, membership is limited based on a thorough vetting and approval process. The partnership between NTMA and Xometry gives NTMA members expedited review of their application into the network, allowing them to start seeing jobs within 24 hours of applying.
