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
