Case Study: Sea Box scales a defense prototype build with Xometry's precise laser tube cutting

Xometry’s Precise Laser Tube Cutting Helps Sea Box Build, Scale Up a Big Project for a Defense Customer

Sea Box, a New Jersey-based manufacturer of ISO containers and modular buildings for commercial and military customers, needed help on a large, time-sensitive defense project. Because the build had to start from the ground up and required roughly 400 custom parts with very tight tolerances, Sea Box turned to Xometry for sheet cutting and laser tube cutting services.

Xometry provided an all-in-one sourcing and quoting solution for the sheet metal and laser-cut tube components, with tracking, documentation, ITAR support, and flexible lead times through its Teamspace Dashboard. The result was on-time delivery of every purchase order, no rework, and a successful move from prototype to a low-rate production run of five units, with Sea Box crediting Xometry for helping keep the project on time and on budget.
