Assembly Services by Xometry

High quality assembly services for your production needs.

Xometry provides integrated assembly services for various projects, big or small. Our diverse group of over 5,000 manufacturing partners has the expertise and ability to both manufacture and assemble your designs in a single service, including parts made with different manufacturing processes, materials, finishes, and other considerations. Customers can provide their own parts and commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware, or can let us source these parts to allow for a seamless inventory management process. Our assembly services include permanent and temporary assemblies for mechanical, electro-mechanical, cable-and-harness, and customer-defined projects, as well as additional secondary operations. Applications of Xometry’s assembly services are truly customer defined – you want it built, and we say “will do.”

Xometry can provide mechanical, electro-mechanical, box build, and cable-and-wire harness assembly services, depending on the need. Note that a given project can (and most often does) require a mix of these types, and Xometry is happy to oblige as long as the assembly is fully defined for the needs of fabricators in the form of parts files, assembly files, and attached technical drawings/notes.

Note that Xometry does not manufacture circuits, PCB, PCBA, static-sensitive, or other highly-integrated electrical components, and as a result, will not fabricate your electrical assembly or electronic assembly from the ground up. Xometry can integrate electronic components into an upper-level designs as long as they are provided and noted in technical drawings and work instructions.

Mechanical Assembly Services

Xometry’s partners offer mechanical assembly services such as linkages, housings, gearboxes, jigs, fixtures, and a variety of other complex designs. Typical applications for mechanical assemblies include automotive and aerospace components, manufacturing equipment, food processing equipment, hand and power tools, and more. Threaded inserts, PEM inserts, welds, and other integrations on the part level can be instantly quoted and defined in Xometry’s Instant Quoting Engine℠

Electro-Mechanical Assemblies

Xometry has extensive experience building electro-mechanical assemblies, such as those found in robotic systems, automated equipment, additive manufacturing systems, and medical devices. Though unable to manufacture PCBs and pure electricals, Xometry is happy to receive and integrate them into assemblies, ensuring proper functionality within the full system. Xometry’s assembly facilities are equipped with ESD-safe workstations, soldering stations, and ESD-safe packaging options.

Cable and Wire Harness Assemblies

Cable and wire harnesses are vital to keeping electrical connectors organized and away from moving parts. Xometry will provide cable and wire harness assemblies for your project, ensuring clean, safe, and effective protection for cables and wires.

• Specify as much as you can by clicking “Modify Part” on the part line item. Include notes about locations of joints, joining needs, and application-specific requirements. Also include specifics about materials, tolerances, and finishes for each part, if applicable.
• Ensure both a final assembly file and necessary technical drawings are attached, as well as any inspection templates (if applicable).
• In the upper left-hand corner of the quote summary, click “Add Certifications” and check any appropriate requirements for ITAR/EAR or other certifications.
