It connected corporate buyers with a vetted regional network of manufacturing suppliers across aerospace and aeronautics, automotive, consumer electronics, plastics and more, offering 3D printing, CNC machining, sheet-metal fabrication, injection molding and urethane casting. In March 2023 Tridi was acquired by Xometry, the US global manufacturing marketplace, for approximately $3.8 million, and now operates as Xometry Türkiye, a subsidiary of Xometry Europe.
