(1) Organization and Description of Business

Xometry, Inc. (“Xometry”, the “Company”, “we”, or “our”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware in May 2013. Xometry is a global artificial intelligence (“AI”) powered online marketplace connecting buyers with suppliers of manufacturing services, driving the digital transformation of one of the largest industries in the world. We use our proprietary AI, machine learning and cloud-based services, including our Thomasnet® platform, to help buyers efficiently source custom-manufactured parts and assemblies, and empower suppliers of manufacturing services to grow their businesses. Xometry's corporate headquarters is located in North Bethesda, Maryland.

Our AI-enabled technology platform is powered by proprietary machine learning algorithms and datasets, resulting in a sophisticated two-sided marketplace that is rapidly digitizing the manufacturing industry. As a result, buyers can procure the products they want on demand, and suppliers can source new manufacturing opportunities that match their specific capabilities and capacity, ultimately resulting in locally resilient supply chains so goods can get to market faster. Every interaction on our marketplace provides rich data insights that allow us to continuously improve our AI models and create new products and services, fueling powerful network effects as we scale.

 

We use proprietary technology to enable product designers, engineers, buyers, and supply chain professionals to instantly access the capacity of a global network of manufacturing facilities. The Company’s platform makes it possible for buyers to quickly receive pricing, expected lead times, manufacturability feedback and place orders on the Company’s platform. The network allows the Company to provide high volumes of unique parts, including custom components and assemblies for its buyers.

 

Xometry’s suppliers’ capabilities include computer numerical control manufacturing, sheet metal forming, sheet cutting, 3D printing (including fused deposition modeling, direct metal laser sintering, PolyJet, stereolithography, selective laser sintering, binder jetting, carbon digital light synthesis, multi jet fusion and lubricant sublayer photo-curing), die casting, stamping, injection molding, urethane casting, tube cutting, tube bending, as well as finishing services, rapid prototyping and high-volume production. Xometry's extensible technology platform allows the Company to add new technologies and processes to gain more wallet share with our buyers.

We empower suppliers to grow their manufacturing businesses and improve machine uptime by providing access to an extensive, diverse base of buyers. We also offer suppliers supporting products and services to meet their unique needs. Through Thomasnet, a leading industrial sourcing platform in North America, we offer suppliers an array of digital advertising and marketing services and data solutions. In addition, our suite of supplier services includes financial service products to stabilize and enhance cash flow and a cloud-based manufacturing execution system to help suppliers optimize their productivity.
