Our new case study exemplifies how the Dixon Valve team worked with Xometry to reach optimal manufacturing solutions quickly and easily.

Get all the details on our Dixon Valve Case Study published with SOLIDWORKS, to discover how Xometry Instant Quoting Engine integrated within SOLIDWORKS created a one-stop-shop within Dixon's design workspace to greatly increase efficiency.

Through Xometry's integration with SOLIDWORKS, Dixon Valve & Coupling was able to gain access to cost and manufacturability information for greater efficiency and cost-effectiveness, and drive automation using faster access to manufacturing services, all while designing in SOLIDWORKS.

The Challenge

Provide direct access to manufacturing services including costing, methodology, and ordering information from within a 3D design environment.

The Solution

Xometry's instant quoting within SOLIDWORKS and on-demand manufacturing services.

The Results

Cut fixture production time from weeks to days
Determined cost and suitability of production approaches while designing
Reduced fixture production costs
Realized 24/7 access to manufacturing services
