Xometry, the world’s largest marketplace for on-demand manufacturing, bags $75M equity round led by T. Rowe Price Funds

The last time we wrote about Xometry was back in July when the Maryland-based On-demand manufacturing marketplace startup launched a 2D technical drawings marketplace. Xometry is changing the way you order custom parts with custom manufacturing on-demand services for 3D printing, CNC machining, Injection molding, and more. Late last year, the Maryland-based acquired Munich-based Shift, the largest On-Demand manufacturing marketplace in Europe, to expand its footprint in Europe.

Today, Xometry announced it has closed a $75 million equity round, led by funds and accounts advised by T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. Durable Capital Partners LP and ArrowMark Partners also participated in the round, along with previous venture and strategic investors BMW i Ventures, Greenspring Associates, Dell Technologies Capital, Robert Bosch Venture Capital, Foundry Group, Highland Capital Partners, and Almaz Capital. Following a $55MM Series D in 2019, this new funding round brings Xometry to $193MM in total funding since its founding in 2013.

In conjunction with the funding, Xometry also announced that Jim Rallo has joined the company as Chief Financial Officer. Rallo previously served as CFO and President of Liquidity Services, leading the company’s initial public offering in 2006.
