Xometry Supplies Adds Plastics to Materials Offering
Xometry now offers Acetal Copolymer Plastic on the Xometry Supplies eCommerce Platform
GAITHERSBURG, Md. (November 12, 2019) - Xometry, the largest on-demand marketplace for custom manufacturing, today announced the addition of Acetal Copolymer Plastics to the Xometry Supplies eCommerce marketplace.
Acetal Copolymer Plastic, also known as POM thermoplastic, is easily machined and is known for its strength, stiffness, and durability. Acetal Copolymer Extruded Sheets are an ideal material for working in wet conditions due to a low absorption rate, high heat-resistance, and the ability to be heated and cooled without the form being affected. The material will be offered in a natural, white, and black extruded sheet.
"We are excited to announce the addition of Acetal to our product catalog. This launch is a big step forward for the Xometry Supplies business, and it is the first step in our expansion of the Supplies raw material catalog in Q4 2019," said Jaa Aguilar, Xometry Supplies' General Manager. "Supplies launched earlier this year with one raw material--Aluminum 6061. We've seen tremendous success and response from our customers with just a single raw material. Adding Acetal allows us to respond to the need identified by our customers for custom-cut plastics."
Xometry Supplies launched in January 2019 to provide cost-effective, fast industrial materials and tooling to Xometry Partners and manufacturing facilities. The Supplies marketplace now offers over 115,000 SKUs of tools, Aluminum 6061, and Acetal Copolymer Plastic.
Xometry Supplies is only one of the three sub-services Xometry provides. The first is custom manufacturing; the company offers 11 different manufacturing processes including CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, additive manufacturing, and injection molding through its network of over 3,000 Manufacturing Partners. Xometry also recently rolled out its newest service, Xometry Finishing Services, an online network of post-processing suppliers specializing in anodizing, heat treatment, mechanical finishing, metal plating, painting and marking, and military spec. coating.

Featured Product
FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection
The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
