Analysis

The stock moved -8.2% in the session following this news. A negative reaction despite operational enhancements would contrast with the company’s recent pattern, where prior news and earnings events all produced positive next-day moves. A pullback could reflect profit-taking after a strong run above the 200-day moving average rather than a clear judgment on the platform upgrades. Investors may weigh execution risks around new materials, tolerance options and global sourcing controls when interpreting any sharp downside move following this type of announcement.

8 terms

additive manufacturing technical

"Xometry has expanded its additive manufacturing capabilities available directly..."

Additive manufacturing, often called 3D printing, builds physical parts by laying down material layer by layer from a digital design, rather than cutting or molding from a solid block. It matters to investors because it can cut production time and waste, enable cheaper prototypes and customized products, and reshape supply chains—changes that can lower costs, speed new products to market, and create competitive advantages that affect a company's revenue and margins.

fused deposition modeling technical

"introduced eight new materials across Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)..."

Fused deposition modeling (FDM) is a common 3D printing method that builds solid parts by melting a thin plastic filament and laying it down layer by layer, like piping icing to create a cake shape. For investors, FDM matters because it enables faster, lower-cost prototypes and small-batch production, can shorten supply chains, and signals potential for product customization or manufacturing disruption that may affect costs and competitive advantage.

stereolithography technical

"eight new materials across Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) and Stereolithography (SLA)..."

A 3D printing method that builds solid objects by using focused light to harden a liquid plastic resin one thin layer at a time, similar to tracing and stacking many transparent sheets to form a shape. Investors care because it speeds prototyping and small-batch production, allows highly detailed or complex parts without expensive molds, and can cut tooling and lead times—factors that affect manufacturing costs, product development pace, and competitive advantage.

cnc machining technical

"Enhanced Control in CNC Machining: To provide greater control for engineers..."

Computer numerical control (CNC) machining is a manufacturing process where computer-programmed machines precisely cut, drill, or shape metal and plastic parts, acting like robot-guided tools in a workshop. Investors care because CNC capability affects a company’s cost, quality, production speed and ability to scale—similar to switching from hand tools to automated ovens in a bakery, it can lower unit costs, reduce errors and help meet higher demand reliably.

tolerance technical

"Xometry has introduced new “looser” tolerance options (±.010” for metals and ±.020”..."

Tolerance is the amount of variation, discomfort, risk, or side effect that a person, regulator, or system will accept before taking action. For investors, it can mean how much financial ups and downs they can endure without selling, or, in a regulatory/medical context, the level of deviation or adverse effect considered acceptable for a drug, device, or process; think of it as the margin of wiggle room before a change is needed.

cmmc regulatory

"CMMC-Certified Manufacturing Selection: Xometry achieved CMMC Level 2 certification..."

Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a U.S. government program that sets required levels of cybersecurity for contractors handling sensitive government information. For investors, CMMC matters because it can determine whether a company is eligible to win or keep government contracts, affect compliance costs and cybersecurity investments, and influence operational risk — think of it like a safety inspection that can open or close doors to significant revenue streams.

dod regulatory

"support aerospace and defense customers with stringent DoD security requirements."

Day-over-day (DoD) measures how a number—such as a stock price, trading volume, or economic figure—has changed compared with the previous trading day. For investors, it shows short-term momentum or volatility, like checking yesterday’s weather to decide whether to carry an umbrella today; a small shift is routine, while a large one can signal new information or changing sentiment that may affect trading decisions.

instant quoting engine technical

"available directly through the Xometry Instant Quoting Engine®."

An instant quoting engine is a software system that shows up-to-the-second buy and sell prices for stocks, bonds or other traded instruments and can generate a firm quote on demand. It matters to investors because it lets them see current market prices and quickly lock in a trade price, much like using a real-time price scanner at a store checkout; that immediacy reduces uncertainty about execution cost and helps manage trading risk and timing.

Recent marketplace expansions target aerospace, defense and medical sectors

NORTH BETHESDA, Md., Jan. 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Xometry, Inc. (NASDAQ: XMTR), the global AI-powered marketplace connecting buyers and suppliers of custom manufacturing, announced several recent platform enhancements designed to help engineers and procurement professionals keep pace with the rapid evolution of materials and manufacturing processes.

With an expanded portfolio of high-performance materials and greater control over manufacturing specifications, Xometry continues to be a partner of choice for resilient, agile supply chains.

Expanded High-Performance Materials

To support the industry’s shift toward more sophisticated, high-performance applications, Xometry has expanded its additive manufacturing capabilities available directly through the Xometry Instant Quoting Engine^®.

• In December 2025, Xometry introduced eight new materials across Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) and Stereolithography (SLA) additive manufacturing technologies. These materials are critical for advanced applications in the aerospace, defense and medical device industries, as well as the automotive industry. The expanded FDM catalog now includes PETG, Nylon 6 CF, Stratasys Antero 800NA, Antero 840CN03, PAEK VICTREX AM 200, ULTEM 1010 CG, and ABS-CF10. In addition, Xometry enhanced its SLA offerings with the introduction of Accura SL 5530, a material engineered for high-temperature resistance and demanding fluid applications.
  

Enhanced Flexibility in Manufacturing Selection

Recognizing that global logistics requires flexibility, Xometry is also enabling buyers to choose how and where their parts are made.

• Enhanced Control in CNC Machining: To provide greater control for engineers with exacting technical requirements, Xometry has launched a “Preferred Subprocess” feature within its automated quoting platform. This update allows CNC customers to specify exact machining approaches while maintaining the speed of instant pricing and lead times.
• Additional Tolerance Options: To help customers maximize value on less precise components, Xometry has introduced new “looser” tolerance options (±.010” for metals and ±.020” for plastics). Customers utilizing these options see an average price reduction of 5% on applicable parts, making it easier to scale production while maintaining strict budget adherence.
• CMMC-Certified Manufacturing Selection: Xometry achieved CMMC Level 2 certification in early 2025, strengthening its ability to support aerospace and defense customers with stringent DoD security requirements. Customers can now select CMMC requirements during the quoting process, alongside other certifications and qualifications.
• Global Sourcing Selection (Coming Soon): Xometry will expand its sourcing controls to give buyers more granular authority over production geography, including the ability to designate permitted and restricted regions in line with compliance, risk, and cost considerations.

These latest updates build upon the 2025 launches of Instant Quoting for Injection Molding in the U.S. and the global expansion of the Teamspace collaboration suite, reinforcing Xometry’s position as an essential partner for resilient, agile supply chains.

“The demands of custom manufacturing are evolving faster than ever before,” said Sanjeev Singh Sahni, President at Xometry. “By expanding our material selection and giving buyers more choices, we are continuing to broaden our role as a leader in manufacturing transformation leveraging our core in AI, machine learning and marketplace intelligence.”
