Yesterday, Her Majesty Queen Rania visited the offices of software technology startup Mixed Dimensions, where she met with staff and discussed its successful transition onto the global tech startup scene.

Mixed Dimensions specialized in 3D printing, gaming, and computer-aided design (CAD), and is a U.S.-Jordanian startup that aims to increase the availability of relevant 3D-printable content. The company currently serves more than 100,000 users across the world.

On arrival, she was received at their Amman office by its co-founders, CEO Muhannad Taslaq and Chief Technical Officer Baha Abu Nojaim. She was briefed her about the company’s services, various challenges faced by the 3D printing and tech industries, and Mixed Dimensions’ vision of becoming “the postscript of 3D printing.”

Queen Rania commended the startup for demonstrating passion, dedication, and persistence toward achieving its goals. She also described Mixed Dimensions as a model Jordanian success story, which should be taught at Jordanian universities as a case study in how to flourish in the local business environment.

She went on to underscore the importance of bridging the gap between the skills taught in classrooms and those needed in the labor market. She also underlined the need to overcome the pervasive culture of fear, which prevents companies from experimenting and learning from their mistakes in order to build experience and develop successful businesses.

She was introduced to the company’s three distinct products: MakePrintable, a cloud-based tool capable of healing 3D models; Gameprint, which uses 3D printing technology to allow video gamers to capture gameplay moments; and 3DCollectible, which transforms 3D models into high-quality customized collectibles.

While touring the startup’s offices, Her Majesty chatted with members of the Mixed Dimensions team, who explained to her their ongoing work in 3D design, patents, problem-solving, and algorithms.
