Case Study: Standard Motor Products reduces tool lead time with Xometry 3D printing

Standard Motor Products cuts tool lead time by over 70% with Xometry

Standard Motor Products, an established automotive parts manufacturer, sought to reduce the cost and lead time associated with producing custom tools, jigs, and fixtures for their production lines. They partnered with the vendor Xometry, leveraging its on-demand manufacturing platform and 3D printing services to address this challenge.

By transitioning from traditional CNC machining to additive manufacturing through Xometry, primarily using SLS and FDM 3D printing, the company significantly streamlined their process. This solution implemented by Xometry reduced their costs by 50-85% per part and slashed lead times by 60-80%, enabling them to get innovative, durable tools onto their busy production floor in as little as 10 days.
