Test Order [EU partners]: how to get it?

 

All new EU partners must produce one test order before starting cooperation with Xometry Europe.

➡️ Get access to all orders of all technologies. 

The test order is your opportunity to wow us and demonstrates your ability to deliver top quality work. It is a confirmation of your competence and your level of production quality.

Produce the test order at the highest level for any technology you choose, and you will get access to all orders (of all technologies you indicated at your profile). If your company has multiple capabilities, you will only need to complete one test order of your choosing.

There are two types of orders in the Job Board:
1. Orders with orange button "Take the Job now".  This means that you need to hurry and go to take the order as soon as possible, the order will be yours right away, no need to wait for confirmation from us, just click and produce!

2. Orders with blue button "Apply"​. This means you can send the application and have to wait a little for our  reply.​​​​​

The more great orders you produce, the sooner you will get the opportunity to see all orders with orange button and take it without a confirmation from us.
