Global Reach, Local Operations

Fictiv gives you access to virtually unlimited low-volume manufacturing capacity through a single trusted partner with global reach.

Both Xometry and Fictiv operate a global manufacturing network. However, in each of our regions — the USA, China, and India — Fictiv has established Operations Hubs, each led by a Fictiv General Manager and staffed by Fictiv-employed supplier quality engineers, logistics specialists, manufacturing engineers, and strategic sourcing managers.

This helps us to ensure quality and on-time delivery on your behalf, which is especially important for projects with complex requirements and critical production runs.

A Premium, Highly-Curated Supply Chain

When it comes to our manufacturing network, Fictiv’s mantra is quality over quantity. That’s why we select just the right number of Manufacturing Partners to meet the needs of our customers.


Plus, we have extremely rigorous onboarding and performance monitoring systems in place to ensure each of our partners meets our very high standards. 

As a result, Xometry may have some capabilities that Fictiv doesn’t offer due to the expansive network of their marketplace. But if you’re looking for very high quality standards for a project with complex designs or a critical production run, Fictiv may be a better partner for you.

This includes customized DFM feedback for injection molding with 3D visualizations, delivered with your free quote. Plus, our team of manufacturing experts are happy to help consult further.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the main difference between Fictiv and Xometry?

If we had to sum it up quickly, we’d say the biggest difference comes down to how we build and manage our network of manufacturing partners. Xometry has a very expansive marketplace. Fictiv has a comparatively smaller network of partners that we consider to be “right-sized” based on the needs of our customers and our ability to closely manage each partner for optimized performance. Fictiv also has company-staffed Operations Hubs in each of our global regions for more localized, on-the-ground support which we think is important for quality.
