Xometry, Inc. the global, AI-native marketplace connecting buyers and suppliers of custom manufacturing, announced the appointment of Lukas Biewald, co-founder and former CEO of Weights & Biases, and SVP, AI Initiatives at CoreWeave, Inc., to its Board of Directors.
“Lukas has spent his career building the platforms that AI teams actually rely on during production, most notably at Weights & Biases, where he helped establish the system of record for how the world's leading teams train and deploy models. That experience maps directly to what we're building at Xometry: AI that makes manufacturing capacity instantly accessible, starting with our AI-powered quoting engine,” said Randy Altschuler, CEO and Co-founder at Xometry. “As we scale that intelligence across supplier matching and agentic procurement workflows, having a board member who understands both the technical depth and the operator's discipline required to get AI right is exactly the kind of perspective we need.”
“Manufacturing is one of the most complex, data-intensive industries in the world, and Xometry has built the platform infrastructure to bring it into the AI era. As someone who has spent my career building tools that help engineers and developers work smarter, I have a deep appreciation for what this team has accomplished, and where it can go. I'm looking forward to contributing to the team,” said Lukas Biewald, SVP, AI Initiatives at CoreWeave.
Biewald joins the Xometry Board of Directors at a pivotal moment. The company has recently launched new AI capabilities — including personalized pricing and design-for-manufacturability (DFM) intelligence — that together move the platform toward a more autonomous procurement experience, with further enhancements in development. Biewald's background scaling AI platforms used by hundreds of thousands of engineers will directly inform how Xometry develops and operates these capabilities at marketplace scale.
