- This collaboration will bring Siemens a differentiated, price-aware native integrated design solution. Through the embedding of intelligent functions within the system, it will establish a complete digital mainline from design to procurement.
Siemens has extended its intelligent design-to-source capability from the field of electronic components to standard and customized mechanical parts.
Siemens also made a minority equity investment of approximately 50 million US dollars in Xometry.
Siemens announced a strategic partnership with Xometry. Xometry is a global native AI trading platform that connects the supply and demand sides of customized manufacturing. Through this collaboration, Siemens can directly integrate its proprietary intelligence in terms of manufacturability, pricing, procurement, and lifecycle management into the digital mainline of Siemens Xcelerator, achieving native integration.
This collaboration will further enhance Siemens’ vision for intelligent supply chain management. Siemens’ subsidiary Supplyframe has already achieved deep design-to-purchase intelligence in the electronic component sector, while Xometry, through its digital trading platform business and its Thomas subsidiary which covers a wide range of industrial procurement networks in North America, has extended this capability to the fields of standard and customized mechanical components.
In addition to integrating with the Siemens Designcenter™ software, this collaboration will also facilitate the integration of Xometry’s Thomas network with Siemens Supplyframe, thereby providing a unified and comprehensive design-to-purchase intelligence for electronic and mechanical components, and helping customers achieve end-to-end procurement of the bill of materials (BOM).
As part of the collaboration, Siemens made a minority equity investment of approximately 50 million US dollars in Xometry¹. This move reflects Siemens’ firm belief that AI-driven execution intelligence will become the core differentiating advantage of the next generation of industrial software. By deeply integrating design, pricing, procurement and production insights in the digital mainline, Siemens and Xometry will jointly explore the added value.
Tony Hemmelgarn, the President and CEO of Siemens Digital Industrial Software, said: “Industrial competitiveness depends on the speed and certainty with which enterprises transform digital concepts into physical products. By leveraging Siemens’s extensive accumulation in the field of digital twins and industrial AI innovation, combined with large-scale AI-driven manufacturing intelligence, we are helping our customers break down the barriers between design and production. This collaboration with Xometry enables us to directly integrate data intelligence from millions of custom component manufacturing into the design process, empowering designers to make better decisions with higher efficiency and create greater value.”
Randy Altschuler, the co-founder and CEO of Xometry, stated: “Xometry shares the same vision with Siemens – to deeply integrate AI into the digital backbone of design, providing intelligence related to manufacturability, pricing, procurement, and execution at the moment when engineers make critical design decisions. Xometry has built and trained its native AI platform based on the real and complex scenarios of the manufacturing industry, covering millions of component files worldwide, real feedback from manufacturers, and production results. This collaboration will directly introduce these intelligent capabilities into the design systems and processes that engineers use on a daily basis. When these capabilities are integrated into the world’s leading industrial software platforms, the entire industry ecosystem will benefit from it.”
The Xometry platform is built upon millions of component files, design feedback from real manufacturers, and production data from over 5,000 active suppliers worldwide. Its model is continuously optimized through real-world feedback and provides AI support for design for manufacturing (DFM). It also outputs the price and quality information of components through the Xometry Instant Quoting Engine® (IQE).
Unlike the integration method that requires separate logins, Siemens customers will obtain a deep native integrated workflow through this cooperation. They can obtain key information such as design feasibility, manufacturing plans, prices, and delivery cycles in real time within the existing design and lifecycle management environment. As the design progresses, the collaboration between the two parties will naturally extend from the design stage to the visible execution level, helping the team achieve a smooth transformation from digital intent to physical production with less handover and higher transparency.
This collaboration also supports Siemens’ goal of providing universal industrial technologies to enterprises of all sizes. By combining Siemens’ enterprise-level software with its global market coverage capabilities, and Xometry’s efficient, execution-oriented manufacturing workflow, both parties have opened up new participation paths for small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises, while also taking into account the requirements of large industrial enterprises for rigor, safety, and scalability.
The investment amount is an approximate figure. The final amount will be based on the actual amount at the time of transaction completion.
