Mixed Dimensions Inc. recently acquired three specialised 3D printing marketplaces from uFathom Inc., a Canadian based company. Mixed Dimensions, also known as MXD3D is a company that aims to democratise 3D printing through its web browser-basedtool for three dimensional design. The marketplaces are www.maker6.com– which aims to connect 3D printing users and designers with local printers; alongside www.makerpicks.com and www.3Dhippy.com- which are marketplaces where users can upload, sell, buy and share three dimensional designs.
As a results, MXD3D has just launched a beta version of its consolidated marketplace, the additional services and features that it has crafted and acquired are to be released through the summer. The company aims to become a one-stop-shop global marketplace with a localised focus. The concept of connecting users and designers is in the same strata as makexyz, PRINTR and, of course, 3D Hubs: Emergent platforms that seek to host a complete range of solutions for 3D printer owners, CAD designers and customers who are seeking 3D prints.
Muhannad Taslaq, CEO of MXD3D said: “A lot of work went into building and populating these marketplaces which we plan to merge with our own MXD3D Gallery in order to accelerate our vision of offering an end-to-end solution to our customers. The MXD3D marketplace will be one of the most sophisticated and broadest in value added services.”
Baha Abu Nojaim, the other Co-founder and CTO added: “Many of the current marketplaces are static and don’t cover the entire spectrum of customer needs. Therefore, we are embedding our very easy to use 3D modeling tool, our Viewer and our printability technology to these marketplaces to give them life and provide a seamless user experience.”
The company further states that it will continue to seek potential acquisition targets globally that may complement the platform basis of its services. The company intends to seek an institutional round of investment later this summer to fund the plans.
