Disney has quietly acquired tech and assets of MakieLab, a startup that 3D printed dolls

MakieLab, a London-based startup that 3D printed and sold custom dolls, has authoritatively covered, with a halfway exit to Disney. TechCrunch comprehends that the U.S. stimulation organization procured MakieLab's tech and resources as ahead of schedule as July a year ago, a story that I have attempted yet neglected to nail down from that point onward. Up to this point, is.

In a post on MakieLab's legitimate Facebook page distributed on the eighteenth of February (installed beneath), the organization affirms that it is no longer a free substance yet doesn't exactly go the extent that unveiling the new "proprietor," refering to a non-revelation understanding.

The organization has as of now mostly moved to the U.S. after it got acknowledged into Disney's startup quickening agent,

"Makies innovation and stage has been effectively gained by a phenomenal U.S. media behemoth, who we trust will accomplish something awesome with it soon," composes MakieLab.

"We attempted to proceed on the Makies world-takeover autonomously, yet the fantasy needed to end, for a wide range of 2016 – ewww - reasons. We trust our new proprietor can accomplish what we couldn't all alone for you. Much thanks to you, new proprietor, you are our lone trust!" it includes what peruses as a not at all subtle reference to Disney's Star Wars motion picture establishment.

You don't have to see terms of the arrangement… These aren't the acquirers you're searching for.
As per two sources with learning of the arrangement, Disney is to be sure the acquirer of MakieLab's "innovation and stage". I've not possessed the capacity to bind how much cash traded hands, however I'm told by one source that some cash went to the originators. Regardless of whether seed financial specialists, for example, Sunstone Capital or Lifeline Ventures, saw a lot of an arrival is hazy yet appears to be impossible.

What's more, as though it wasn't sufficiently clear that Disney is the acquirer, as indicated by her LinkedIn profile, MakieLab CEO and originator Alice Taylor is currently Director, StudioLab at The Walt Disney Studios.
