A Xometry Case Study
Awake Window and Door Co., an American manufacturer of luxury windows and doors, needed to design high-quality, durable components for its flagship multi-slide door system. The company aimed to create innovative products that would set them apart in the fenestration industry while furthering their social mission to reduce prison recidivism through fair-chance employment. To achieve this, they required a cost-effective manufacturing solution that could produce parts with extremely tight tolerances uncommon in their field.
Xometry provided injection molding services, delivering expert design for manufacturability feedback and producing durable, glass-filled nylon components. This solution allowed Awake to replace large, expensive metal parts with smaller, affordable plastic ones, resulting in a superior and more easily assembled product. The measurable impact was significant, with a senior supply chain analyst at Awake reporting that Xometry consistently beat other suppliers on cost, leading to a company-wide mandate to use Xometry for all injection molding needs. This partnership successfully supported Awake's goals of advancing their industry and their social mission.
