Democratizing the Manufacturing Industry

Episode Summary

“Digital” and “manufacturing” are not two words you’ll often see in the same sentence. But, creating the convergence between them is at the heart of what Xometry, a Dell Tech Capital company, is up to.

Episode Notes

By this point, most industries have experienced some sort of digital revolution. As evidenced by this year's Digital Transformation Index, no one wants to be a “digital laggard.” But, some industries have shown up a little later to the party; manufacturing included. One particulary company, Xometry, has taken on that challenge. By creating an online platform for businesses and individuals to request manufacture of a particular part or product and simultaneously curating a collection of suppliers, Xometry is expediting the traditional manufacturing process, exponentially.

This week, host Kelly Lynch chats with Bill Cronin, Chief Revenue Officer for Xometry, to learn more about the company and what makes them truly unique. You’ll walk away this week with a better understanding of the manufacturing industry, why digitization has created an even bigger pie for suppliers and customers alike, and why distributed access to these types of technologies results in better outcomes for all.
