The Xometry Foundation
Supporting STEM and manufacturing training programs that expand opportunity through education, community investment, and workforce development.
Committed Annually
Manufacturing Workforce Development
MxD
As the nation’s federally designated National Center for Cybersecurity in Manufacturing, MxD equips U.S. factories with the digital tools, cybersecurity protections, and workforce training needed to build a more resilient industrial base. They are highly regarded for their state-of-the-art Chicago factory floor and MxD Learn programs, which prepare students and professionals alike for in-demand, digitally advanced manufacturing careers.
Xometry + MxD Programs
- Manufacturing Workforce Cyber Readiness Grants
This investment is designed to make cybersecurity compliance more affordable and accessible for small and medium-sized manufacturers across the U.S. By lowering the costs of becoming cyber-ready, more businesses can protect their operations, secure valuable government contracts, and create more high-paying job opportunities within their communities.
Education and Engineering Entrepreneurship
By funding scholarships and programs that encourage engineering entrepreneurship and educational access, the Xometry Foundation empowers the next generation of builders and innovators.
ASME Foundation
The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Foundation develops philanthropic STEM programs that motivate, equip, and encourage engineers to create a better future for all. They are well-known for their ASME E-Fests (Engineering Festivals), where students compete in engineering design challenges, network, and learn career skills.
Xometry + ASME Programs
- Xometry Travel Grants Program
This program significantly reduces cost barriers for students participating in ASME E-Fest and E-Fx Events. - Xometry Future Engineers Scholarship
This scholarship provides 10 engineering students with financial assistance to support their undergraduate education.
SAE Foundation
The SAE Foundation is building a “STEM-fluent” workforce by making educational resources more accessible to students of all ages through SAE’s PreK – University STEM education programs. SAE’s Collegiate Design Series is renowned for exposing undergraduate students to real-world engineering design challenges and solutions, preparing them for engineering and technical careers.
Xometry + SAE Programs
- The Xometry Student Access Program
This program provides students pursuing engineering programs and undergraduate degrees with a range of support resources, including:
• Travel grants for SAE Collegiate Design Series events.
• A Digital Access Event to aid in career recruitment and development.
• A new, free library of educational aerospace engineering videos.
Community Impact Programs
We strengthen our communities by providing STEM resources for organizations that inspire future engineers and manufacturers at a local level.
U.S. Space & Rocket Center
