ROCKVILLE, Md., March 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Xometry, the
largest U.S. marketplace for on demand manufacturing, announced
today the launch of an app for Autodesk® Fusion
360® in collaboration with Autodesk (Nasdaq: ADSK).
This revolutionary integration enables users to get an instant
price and lead time from Xometry without leaving the Autodesk
Fusion 360 platform. The app is free and can be downloaded directly
from the Autodesk Fusion 360 App Store.
This app enables design engineers to see the direct impact of
design changes on their part's cost and manufacturability without
leaving Fusion 360. This instant feedback allows creators to make
better parts and increase speed to market.
"Xometry's mission is to help engineers and designers bring
their brightest ideas to life with ease," said Bill Cronin, Xometry's Chief Revenue Officer.
"From this integration with Autodesk's powerful platform, engineers
will get high-quality feedback quickly, enabling them to innovate
faster and better."
As part of this unique partnership, Xometry will offer an
exclusive 10% discount on orders placed through Autodesk Fusion
360, and Autodesk will offer a 20% discount on a Fusion 360
subscription exclusively to Xometry suppliers.
"Autodesk and Xometry share the common goal of doing everything
possible to remove inefficiencies, increase transparency and
collaboration, and generally improve the journey from design to
manufacturing," said Srinath
Jonnalagadda, Vice President of Industry Strategy at
Autodesk. "Our aim is to remove barriers, early in the design
process, to understanding what a part will cost to manufacture and
how choosing new processes or more sustainable materials could
increase efficiencies, reduce costs, and make a product more
relevant. To that end, more closely coupling Xometry's capabilities
with Fusion is a no-brainer."
The Xometry Autodesk Fusion 360 app marks the second
collaboration between Xometry and Autodesk, joining the existing
add-in for Autodesk Inventor. The Inventor add-in can be found for
free, along with other popular CAD software add-ins on Xometry's
website.
