A Xometry Case Study
Lynchburg Machining, a Virginia-based machine shop, faced challenges with production lapses and machine downtime between major projects from their regular customers in industries like aerospace and defense. Their primary challenge was efficiently finding new work to fill these gaps and utilize their excess capacity. To address this, they turned to the vendor Xometry and began using its online job board service.
By implementing Xometry's platform, Lynchburg Machining gained immediate access to a steady stream of manufacturing jobs. The solution allowed them to instantly accept work without a bidding process, view all necessary job details, and fill production gaps on their own schedule. As a result, Xometry transformed from a gap-filling tool into a main customer, providing stability and a constant backflow of work that enabled the shop to keep its machines running and plan for further expansion.
