Materials & Specifications
We work with both custom and general tolerances: ISO 2768 (fine, medium) and ISO 286 (Grades 8, 7, 6) for CNC machining and sheet metal fabrication.
Even though there are no international standards on tolerances for 3D printing, tolerances play a key role in the final dimensions of the part. In 3D printing, the major factors influencing the tolerances are material shrinkage (change in volume from a change in state from liquid to solid), layer thickness minimum feature size and build size (maximum size of the part to be printed, depending on the technology).
As far as formative technologies are concerned, we work according to the following standards: DIN 16742 for injection moulding. As for vacuum casting, a standard ±0.5 mm is usually applied. Tighter tolerances are upon request.

CAD Designs
The Xometry Instant Quoting Engine can automatically quote thousands of different shapes, features, and configurations! To do it needs a suitable file type:
- If the computational geometry algorithms of the Instant Quoting Engine can analyze your part geometry, it will be able to give you an instant quote.
- If the algorithms cannot analyze your design, the line item quantity or value is high, or you added custom features, your part will require additional review by our engineers.
File types & requirements for getting instant quotes
Our Instant Quoting Engine supports all popular CAD files (STEP, STP, SLDPRT, STL, IPT, 3DXML, CATPART, PTC, PRT, SAT and DXF). You can also submit PDF files for technical drawings or quotes for formative manufacturing technologies.
- Solid/Parasolid file types like STEP, SLDPRT, IPT, PRT and SAT can quote in any process.
- Mesh-based formats like STL, 3MF, and 3DXML can quote 3D printing services.
- 2D X_B and DXF files are specific to sheet cutting services.
- Model-Based Definition (MBD) or Part Modeling Information (PMI) is not supported at this time and should be captured with an attached technical drawing on the quote.
- Upper-level assembly files can be uploaded in an STP format but will require individual part files uploaded for quoting. Native CAD assembly files like SLDASM and IAM do not have solid model information and will not load on Xometry’s platform.
- Please remove or suppress any multi-body features, such as installed inserts, before uploading part models.
File types for that can be quoted manually
If you only have technical drawings you can also upload them to the Instant Quoting Engine. In this case, you can configure the project requirements, specifying all necessary parameters – quantities, materials, finishing options etc. – and request a manual quote. File types that the platform supports: DWS, DWF, DWG, PDF.
Please note that without a 3D model, the system won’t be able to deliver an automatic quote. Photos, hand drawings and other files that are not 3D files will not be automatically quoted.
No, we don’t provide CAD drafting services.
Quality Assurance & Control
Xometry utilises rigorous processes to ensure the highest manufacturing standards for your custom parts, inspecting dimensions and visual aspects both during and after production to deliver on-time and precisely tailored components. Xometry’s quality management processes are ISO 9001 certified.
We ensure quality through:
- Only working with the best suppliers on the market
- A scoring system for our manufacturing partners
- Clear QA instructions & standards for the manufacturing facilities
- Our own QC lab & QC team for complex and critical parts
- External QC labs
If you require quality control reports – please specify the certifications you need in your enquiry. Typically, the control procedures could be supported by material certificates, conformity certificates, and reports of inspections. Please make sure to specify the quality control procedures before placing the order – introducing them once the production has started is very difficult.
Yes, a standard quality control of the part is done onsite by the manufacturer. For each order, partners are required to take pictures of the parts and upload them to the platform before sending out the parcel. Parts can also be controlled by external QA labs in order to confirm specific properties (e.g. material composition, high accuracy dimensions, quality of welds, etc.) for an additional cost.
Yes. The following quality documents can be purchased for all our manufacturing technologies (CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, 3D printing, injection moulding, die casting, vacuum casting and compression moulding):
- CMM Inspection Report
- Material Certificate (for metals only)
- Standard Measurement Protocol
- First Article Inspection Report (FAIR)
- RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive)
- REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals)
- Certificate of Conformance
Our production partners are the key to ensuring the quality of our parts. That’s why we apply a strict selection process to ensure that we only work with the best manufacturers on the market.
- A scoring system for existing partners: Once in our network, manufacturers are closely monitored and rated as they fulfil production jobs. This scoring system affects the extent of our collaboration since a higher rating generally leads to more orders being placed. Our partners, therefore, carry out full quality control, as the quality of the parts they produce directly impacts their score.
- A quality control procedure for new partners: To join the Xometry Partner Network, a manufacturer had to prove it meets our standards and requirements with a test order. When a test order is delivered to our office from a partner, we control the packaging and check the order documents to ensure compliance with the order specs in our system. The test part is then checked by the Xometry Quality Assurance Lab (visual inspection, material inspection, dimensional measurement)
If there is an issue at any of these stages, the partner unfortunately cannot work with us. Only 35 % of all test orders successfully pass our quality control step.
