Case Study: Intuitive Machines achieves a successful lunar landing with Xometry's CNC machined parts

Intuitive Machines lands Odysseus on the Moon with Xometry’s hundreds of CNC machined parts

Intuitive Machines, a diversified space exploration company and part of NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) initiative, was tasked with building the Odysseus lunar lander. Their challenge was sourcing hundreds of specialized, lightweight CNC machined parts quickly to meet a fast-approaching deadline for this historic mission.

Xometry provided the solution by supplying hundreds of mission-critical, primer-coated CNC machined parts, including titanium spool fittings and custom aluminum panels. This partnership allowed Intuitive Machines to stay on schedule and successfully achieve the first successful American Moon landing in over 50 years. Xometry's performance was critical, as their streamlined process and ability to handle custom requirements ensured the lander was built on time.
