Proprietary digital manufacturing workflow enables 15-day production turnaround for complex parts, reducing time-to-market by 60-70% compared to traditional manufacturing
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Delivers production parts in as little as 15 days through integrated digital manufacturing services combining injection molding, CNC machining, and 3D printing
How They Differentiate
Offers complete digital manufacturing ecosystem with injection molding, CNC machining, and 3D printing capabilities, while competitors typically specialize in only one service
Xcentric Mold & Engineering positions itself as a full-service digital manufacturer, bridging the gap between prototyping and high-volume production. Unlike competitors that often specialize in a single process, Xcentric integrates injection molding, CNC machining, and additive manufacturing within a single digital workflow, targeting industrial manufacturers, medical device companies, and aerospace contractors that need functional parts quickly.
The company's core offering centers on rapid injection molding and CNC machining, supplemented by polymer additive manufacturing via material extrusion (MEX), powder bed fusion (PBF-LB), and vat photopolymerization (SLA). Its proprietary digital manufacturing workflow, including the QuickQuote instant quoting system, enables a 15-day turnaround for complex parts, which the company claims reduces time-to-market by 60-70% compared to traditional methods. Xcentric also provides bridge manufacturing services to support customers transitioning from prototype to production.
Founded in 1996 and headquartered in Clinton Township, Michigan, Xcentric serves medical device OEMs, aerospace and defense contractors, automotive tier-1s, and consumer product brands. The company was acquired by Quickparts in 2021, following an earlier acquisition by Riverside Company in 2017. CEO Matt McIntosh, a former Quickparts CEO, leads a team of 51-200 employees.
Xcentric's main competitive risk is the crowded digital manufacturing services market, where Proto Labs, Xometry, and Fictiv offer overlapping capabilities. Its differentiation hinges on maintaining a unified platform across multiple processes rather than specializing in one, but the company's relatively modest funding and smaller scale may limit its ability to match the geographic reach or automation investments of larger rivals.
