Competition
The domestic and global on-demand manufacturing industry is localized and highly fragmented. We compete for both buyers and suppliers. We compete with the traditional, analog manner of buying and sourcing of custom manufactured parts. A key component of our competitive strategy and opportunity is to continue to build our brand awareness to drive digitization and further market share gains.
We compete for buyers primarily with local manufacturers who may not be digitally enabled and do not provide online instant quote capabilities and lead times. Our competitors include vertically integrated service bureaus, traditional brokers, the service bureau divisions of the additive original equipment manufacturing companies, independent machine shops and 3D printing service bureaus and digital manufacturing service companies. For buyers, we compete on the basis of competitive pricing, user experience and superior customer service.
For suppliers, we compete with brokers and listing services. Suppliers will pay independent brokers commissions to connect with buyers as well as list their services in offline trade publications and online listing services. We also compete with companies that sell software and services to suppliers, enabling them to sell from their own website or otherwise run their business independently of our platform. We compete for suppliers on the basis of providing real-time access to orders, cash flow stability, global access to customers and services and financial products.
Human Capital
We strive to recruit, develop, and engage diverse, highly talented and driven employees who connect to our mission and model our core values. We believe that our strong, mission-driven culture and our continued investment in our employees’ growth and development are key to our collective success. As of December 31, 2025, we had 1,174 employees.
Xometry Culture and Engagement
Our global team is unified by our mission, and we are passionate about delivering every day for our buyers, suppliers and partners. Our core values, which are rooted in the spirit of entrepreneurism, guide how we connect with our industry, our community and each other.

We seek to ensure our employees have the tools and resources they need to achieve their career goals covering a range of priority topics, through a variety of learning formats, and in close partnership and alignment with leaders.
We believe career growth occurs by building a broad-based portfolio of capabilities and not just in a linear path, and we eagerly encourage and celebrate mobility throughout the organization.
We are committed to growing and empowering communities in our company, our industry, and the neighborhoods in which we live. We know that a diverse and thriving workforce is critical to attract and retain the talent necessary to grow our business. Our success depends on ideas. We can foster more productive ideas if we amplify all voices and provide the tools and resources to those who need them.
Compensation and Benefits
Our compensation philosophy is to promote a pay-for-performance culture to attract, incentivize, and retain talented employees who can develop, implement, and drive long-term value creation strategies. We’ve designed our compensation program so that many of our employees have a component of their compensation that is performance or incentive driven.
We designed our total rewards approach to include a range of offerings to reward, engage and support our employees. This includes market-competitive pay, including equity compensation, along with a comprehensive offering of benefits and programs to support health, mental, social and financial well-being. While the philosophy around our benefits is the same worldwide, specific benefits vary regionally due to local regulations and preferences.

Social Impact
We take pride in giving back to the communities that have supported us as an organization and as individuals. In addition to our donor advised fund, we also sponsor and encourage our employees to volunteer and/or donate to a variety of charitable organizations, whether to non-profits local to the communities in which we operate, for causes near to our employees’ hearts or as part of our employee resource groups’ missions to advocate, educate and/or support partner non-profit organizations.
Environment
We are committed to making it easy to access manufacturing services while reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainable energy solutions. We purchase carbon credits to offset 100% of the estimated impact of the shipment of parts, and offer buyers the ability to instantly purchase carbon credits to offset the projected carbon used to make and ship their parts. We also promote technologies like additive manufacturing that reduce the carbon footprint.
Non-Profit Organizations
Xometry is dedicated to funding causes that will drive the future of sustainable manufacturing. We created a donor advised fund (see www.xometry.org, which is part of our company and not a separate entity) to fund nonprofit entities leading the fight against urgent problems such as education and climate change. We have a moral obligation to share some of our good fortune with others and protect our planet for future generations. We integrate this work into our culture and we use our commitment to ideas beyond just building the company to attract, retain and motivate our employees. We do not see this work as a side-project or distraction. To the contrary, it is core to the culture we are building at Xometry and ultimately we believe the support we provide through our donor advised fund makes our business stronger and more successful.
We have embraced the Pledge 1% movement and are committed to donating 1% of our equity over time, to fund and support the operations of the donor advised fund. We initially reserved 402,658 shares of Class A common stock, representing 1% of our fully diluted capitalization as of the date of approval by our board of directors, for issuance over the initial five years for this purpose, in an amount not to exceed 20% of the initial reserve amount per calendar year. Through our donor advised fund, Xometry has pledged more than $900,000 to provide eight scholarships through the 2026 academic year to students enrolled in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Howard University College of Engineering and Architecture. Xometry is also providing scholarships for 250 students at community colleges in six manufacturing states: Maryland, Kentucky, Wisconsin, South Carolina, Connecticut and New York.
Government Regulation
Our business activities are subject to various federal, state, local and foreign laws, rules, and regulations. Compliance with these laws, rules, and regulations has not had, and is not expected to have, a material effect on our capital expenditures, results of operations, and competitive position as compared to prior periods. Nevertheless, compliance with existing or future governmental regulations, including, but not limited to, those pertaining to privacy, data protection, taxation, sanctions, tariffs, export and import activities, intellectual property, advertising, environmental, labor and employment, consumer protection and unsolicited email and text messages, and cybersecurity, could have a material impact on our business in subsequent periods. For more information on the potential impacts of government regulations affecting our business, see “Item 1A - Risk Factors.”
Data Privacy and Security Laws
We are subject to numerous data privacy and security obligations in various jurisdictions, including laws, regulations, guidance, industry standards, external and internal privacy and security policies, contractual requirements, and other obligations relating to data privacy and security. Most U.S. states have enacted laws and regulations requiring notification to users when there is a security breach of personal data, or requiring the adoption of certain information security standards that are often vaguely defined and difficult to practically implement. The costs of compliance with these laws and regulations may increase in the future as a result of amendments or changes in interpretation. Furthermore, any failure on our part to comply with these laws and regulations may subject us to significant liabilities.
We are also subject to federal, state, and foreign laws and regulations regarding privacy and protection of data. Numerous U.S. states have enacted comprehensive privacy laws that impose certain obligations on covered businesses, including providing specific disclosures in privacy notices and affording residents with certain rights concerning their personal data. As applicable, such rights may include the right to access, correct or delete certain personal data, and to opt-out of certain data processing activities, such as targeted advertising, profiling and automated decision-making. The exercise of these rights may impact our business and ability to provide our products and services. Any failure by us to comply with these terms or privacy-related laws and regulations could result in proceedings against us by governmental authorities or others. In addition, the interpretation of privacy and data protection laws and regulations and their application to online services are quickly changing, becoming increasingly stringent, and creating regulatory uncertainty. Preparing for and complying with these obligations requires us to devote significant resources, which may necessitate changes to our services, information technologies, systems, and practices and to those of any third parties that process personal data on our behalf.
7
In addition, outside the U.S., an increasing number of laws, regulations, and industry standards govern data privacy and security. Complying with these varying domestic and foreign requirements could cause us to incur additional costs and change our business practices. Further, any failure by us to adequately protect our users’ privacy and data could result in a loss of user confidence in our services and ultimately in a loss of users.
Reducing Manufacturing’s Carbon Footprint
We are committed to reducing the manufacturing industry’s overall carbon footprint.
Marketplace customers can calculate the carbon footprint of the different solutions for their manufacturing needs and use that data to make carbon-reducing decisions. In 2022, we integrated Gravity Climate’s API into our marketplace. Gravity Climate’s API calculates carbon emissions estimates for Xometry order requests, using climate science and data related to product material, manufacturing processes, mass, and geography.
We have a carbon offset program, which gives buyers an integrated option to offset up to 100% of the projected carbon footprint of the entire manufacturing process for their orders from raw material extraction and processing, to the transportation of materials and goods along the supply chain, to the energy consumed in fabrication and the operations of the manufacturer. Additionally, we purchase carbon credits to offset 100% of the estimated impact of the shipment of parts to buyers from suppliers. We offer green technologies like additive manufacturing, which help to reduce the carbon footprint of the manufacturing industry globally.
Intellectual Property
Our commercial success depends in part on our ability to obtain, maintain and protect intellectual property and other proprietary rights for our current and future technologies and services. We rely on a combination of patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret laws in the United States and other jurisdictions, as well as license agreements, confidentiality procedures, non-disclosure agreements, and other contractual protections, to establish, maintain and protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights, including our proprietary technology, software, know-how, and brand. However, these laws, agreements, and procedures provide only limited protection.
As of December 31, 2025, we have twelve issued patents and two pending patent applications in the U.S. directed to the use of machine learning for generating fabrication and manufacturing predictions, such as price, manufacturability and suitable materials. We also have a European patent issued in Germany, France, United Kingdom and Turkey directed to similar technologies. Our issued patents in the U.S. will expire between 2036 and 2037, excluding any extension of patent terms that may be available.
As of December 31, 2025, we have approximately 35 registered U.S. trademarks and more than 100 registered foreign trademarks for our name and certain words and phrases that we use in our business. We rely on copyright laws and licenses to use and protect software and certain other elements of our proprietary technologies.
We enter into confidentiality and invention assignment agreements with our employees and consultants and confidentiality agreements with other third parties. We actively monitor access to our proprietary technologies. In addition, we license third-party software, open source software and other technologies that are used in the provision of or incorporated into some elements of our services. Many parts of our business are significantly reliant on proprietary technology and/or licensed technology, including open source software.
Although we take steps to protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights, we cannot be certain that the steps we have taken will be sufficient or effective to prevent the unauthorized access, use, copying or the reverse engineering of our technology and other proprietary information, including by third parties who may use our technology or other proprietary information to develop services that compete with ours. Moreover, others may independently develop technologies or services that are competitive with ours or that infringe on, misappropriate, or otherwise violate our intellectual property and proprietary rights. Policing the unauthorized use of our intellectual property and proprietary rights can be difficult. The enforcement of our intellectual property and proprietary rights also depends on any legal actions we may bring against any such parties being successful, but these actions are costly, time-consuming, and may not be successful, even when our rights have been infringed, misappropriated, or otherwise violated. In addition, aspects of our platform and services include software covered by open source licenses. The terms of various open source licenses have not been interpreted by United States courts, and there is a risk that such licenses could be construed in a manner that imposes unanticipated conditions or restrictions on our services.

Although we rely on intellectual property and proprietary rights, including patents, trademarks, copyrights and trade secrets, as well as contractual protections, in our business, we also seek to preserve the integrity and confidentiality of our intellectual property and proprietary rights through appropriate technological restrictions, such as physical and electronic security measures.
See the section titled “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business” for a more comprehensive description of risks related to our intellectual property and proprietary rights.
