Case Study: Asylon Secures Autonomous Drone Operations with Xometry Sheet Metal Fabrication

Asylon keeps drones airborne for up to 50 minutes an hour with Xometry

Asylon, an aerial infrastructure provider, faced the challenge of creating a durable, weather-proof shell for its autonomous drone base station, a crucial component of its DroneCore product. Their challenge was to manufacture large, precision sheet metal parts with a specific anodized finish that other manufacturers were unable to provide. They turned to vendor Xometry for its sheet metal fabrication services to solve this problem.

Xometry's manufacturing solution provided Asylon with a flexible supply chain, high-quality production-grade parts, and significant cost savings. Xometry's vast partner network enabled them to source a machine shop capable of anodizing the large parts, ensuring durability and precise tolerances for the station's robotic battery-swapping function. This allowed Asylon to reduce its burn rate, meet delivery deadlines, and scale its business, ultimately providing customers with up to 50 minutes of real-time video surveillance per hour.
