Dell Technologies Capital will also participate in the round, along with all previous venture and strategic investors including BMW i Ventures, Foundry Group, GE Ventures, Highland Capital Partners, Maryland Venture Fund and Almaz Capital. Xometry has raised a total of $113m to date.

“Xometry’s vast network, massive data sets and AI breakthroughs make it easier for engineers and designers to buy custom manufacturing and help manufacturers more efficiently operate their businesses,” said Randy Altschuler, co-founder and CEO of Xometry.

“We’re planning to invest these funds behind growth initiatives, product development and global expansion.”

Hunter Somerville, General Partner for Greenspring Associates, will join Xometry’s Board of Directors. “Xometry has quickly become a key player in the $80bn custom manufacturing market,” said Somerville.
