Case Study: University of New Hampshire achieves rapid, high-precision rocket part production with Xometry

University of New Hampshire cuts ion gauge production from 6 months to 2 months with Xometry

The University of New Hampshire (UNH) faced a manufacturing challenge when its in-house machine shop lacked the capacity to produce hundreds of precise parts needed for multiple NASA sounding rocket missions on a tight schedule. To meet the demand for over 700 components for ion gauges, UNH partnered with Xometry and utilized its Instant Quoting Engine® and manufacturing services.

Xometry delivered the required CNC-machined and sheet metal parts with tight tolerances in just two months, a timeframe that was one-third of what the in-house shop would have taken. This solution enabled UNH to successfully launch 16 instruments across two missions. As a result of this reliable partnership and quality service, UNH has continued to rely on Xometry for subsequent missions.
