MXD3D, legally known as Mixed Dimensions, operates as an integral reality company, strategically positioned to bridge the digital and physical worlds. Founded in March 2013 by Muhannad “Mo” Taslaq (CEO) and Bahaa Abu Nojaim (CTO), the company originated in Jordan before establishing its headquarters in San Francisco. The founders' combined expertise in 3D printing, gaming, and CAD software was pivotal in addressing a significant gap in the 3D printing market: the lack of readily available, printable content. The company's business model is centered on providing on-demand manufacturing of unique, full-color 3D printed collectibles, primarily for the video game industry. This allows game developers and publishers to monetize their digital assets by offering fans physical representations of their in-game characters, vehicles, and personalized moments.
MXD3D's core technology includes two main software platforms: MakePrintable and GamePrint. MakePrintable is a cloud-based tool designed to analyze, repair, and prepare 3D models for printing, ensuring structural integrity and printability. The GamePrint service leverages this technology, allowing gamers to capture and customize moments from their gameplay and order them as high-quality, full-color collectibles. The company utilizes advanced 3D color printers, notably through a strategic partnership with Mimaki Engineering, which also involved an equity investment and a seat on the board. This collaboration enables the production of detailed collectibles. MXD3D has worked with several major gaming franchises, including Ubisoft's "Assassin's Creed Origins" and "Star Trek Online," to create custom merchandise lines. The company has secured over $5 million in funding from investors such as Alsop Louie Partners, Dolby Family Ventures, and Silicon Badia to fuel its growth and technological development.
