Case Study: Prototype Design Labs achieves flexible business growth and improved cash flow with Xometry

A Long-Time Machinist Builds a Flexible Business with Xometry

Brian Wadey, founder of Prototype Design Labs in Bonney Lake, WA, struggled to find an adequate supplier for an aerospace part and turned to Xometry. Impressed by the part quality, price, and smooth process, he signed up as a Xometry supplier to bring more consistent work to his shop.

Xometry’s on-demand manufacturing marketplace and support — including the Advance Card (30% advance toward materials) and Fast Pay (ability to bill and be paid within days) — delivered a steady stream of jobs that improved cash flow and justified reinvestment in equipment like a CMM. As a result, Xometry enabled Prototype Design Labs to take on more complex, better-paying projects and grow its business.
