Case Study: Numilk Scales Its Countertop Plant-Based Milk Machines with Xometry’s Prototyping and Injection Molding

“Shark Tank” Winning Food Tech Company Pivots and Scales with Xometry’s Prototyping and Injection Molding Services

Numilk, a food-tech company featured on “Shark Tank,” needed to quickly pivot from a large grocery-store vending machine to a much smaller countertop appliance for homes and coffee shops. To move fast on a lean startup budget, Numilk worked with Xometry on prototyping and manufacturing services including CNC machining, 3D printing, sheet metal fabrication, and injection molding.

Xometry supported Numilk through rapid design iteration, DFM guidance, and scalable production sourcing for food-safe parts, helping the company transition from prototype to production. With Xometry’s help, Numilk launched its Pro3 in just 6 months and its Pro4 in another 6 months, while also benefiting from Xometry’s supplier network and quoting tools to speed development and reduce the need to manage multiple manufacturing partners.
