Xometry refuses look-alike weapons that are 'fully solid or cannot function by design'; bears on outsourcing any part of the build.
Xometry’s Firearm Policy Xometry, Inc. Last updated: June 9, 2022 Does Xometry have an FFL? No. Xometry does not carry a Federal Firearms License (FFL) and, therefore, cannot produce any product that requires an FFL. Generally, this encompasses receivers, suppressors, bump stocks, automatic conversion kits, weapon replicas, and any serialized component of a weapon. Will Xometry produce any look-alike or dummy weapons? No. As a company policy, Xometry will not produce any look-alike weapons, including those which are fully solid or cannot function by design, regardless of legality. Look-alike weapons may be in violation of 15 U.S. Code § 5001 - Penalties for entering into commerce of imitation firearms. Will Xometry produce 80% receivers? No. As a company policy, Xometry will not produce receivers considered 80% or less, regardless of legality. Can Xometry produce high-capacity magazines? No. Xometry is a Maryland-based company and there are restrictions on the manufacturing or sale of magazines that hold over 10 rounds. Xometry will not produce these magazines or components for these magazines. Xometry will not produce magazine extensions as they may increase the capacity of a magazine. Can Xometry build other components of a weapon or firearm? We can build accessories like grips, handguards, holsters, standard stocks, and other peripheral items. Xometry has the right to refuse work if we feel it may violate or be in a "gray area" with FFL regulations or company policy. A Xometry representative will reach out to the customer if a part is auto-quoted and purchased that may be in question. Can Xometry 3D Print Firearms? 3D printed components also follow standard manufacturing regulations as well as Xometry's stated company policies on firearms.

An Xometry representative will contact you to discuss the concern and ask for clarification. If a project is ordered and flagged, the project will be placed ON HOLD and Xometry will notify you. Projects that are in violation of Xometry's policies will be canceled and refunded, if applicable. 1 of 1
