ELEGOO's Ten Years: Empowering Education Through Innovation

ELEGOO's Ten Years: Empowering Education Through Innovation

Since 2015, ELEGOO has empowered educational institutions and competition teams worldwide through strategic sponsorship. Originating in Shenzhen, ELEGOO has provided over 70 schools, universities, and research organizations with cutting-edge 3D printers, laser engravers, and STEM kits. Their Mars and Saturn MSLA and Neptune FDM printers, along with post-processing equipment, have enabled students to tackle complex projects in robotics, aerospace, and automotive engineering. By donating advanced equipment and supporting competitions, ELEGOO has fueled hands-on learning and innovation—making high-tech tools accessible, nurturing STEM talent, and building a lasting legacy in global education and research.

Significant Impact Through Education and Innovation

1. MainFranken-Racing Team

The MainFranken-Racing team is a strong competitor in Formula Student racing, recognized for its innovation and commitment to excellence. ELEGOO has proudly sponsored the team, providing essential resources to boost their performance. 


In recent competitions, they achieved notable success, finishing 2nd in Autocross and 3rd in Acceleration, Skidpad, and Trackdrive at FSCzech 2024. They also placed 3rd overall in the Driverless Vehicle category and won 1st place at FS France, highlighting their top contender status.

Team members expressed their appreciation for ELEGOO's support, stating, “With its compact design, the 3D printer is a great fit for our purposes. From small moulds, over housings, to adapters – almost all departments within our team profit from having our own 3D-printing station. Additionally, the printer as well as the curing and washing station are easy to understand and therefore don’t require excessive training or self-study.”

2. Concordia Formula SAE

Concordia Formula SAE is a student-led racing team that competes in the Formula SAE competitions. In 2023, the team placed 35th overall and 42nd in design at Formula SAE Michigan but excelled in the cost event with a 6th place finish. With the support of ELEGOO, the team made significant strides in 2024, completing every dynamic event and achieving an impressive 19th place out of 79 teams. They also ranked 22nd in design, 5th in cost, and 7th in efficiency, marking a historic performance for Concordia.

Members tell us Neptune 3 Pro makes it an ideal choice for the team, allowing members to allocate more resources towards research and development, less time on troubleshooting, and no more failed prints!

Hotaru - A land-launched vehicle equipped with a new upper and lower separation mechanism for high altitudes. A vehicle launched in the land-launch category of the Noshiro Space Event in August 2024. Overall length of aircraft is 1196mm, net weight is 4.535kg, estimated maximum altitude is 412m.

The culmination of the team's efforts was a successful launch of their rocket, which strived to reach significant altitudes and collect crucial data during its flight. The project not only showcased the technical skills of the team but also highlighted the importance of collaborative efforts in achieving ambitious goals in space research.


4. Bonham ISD

Bonham ISD (Independent School District) is an educational institution located in Texas, USA, dedicated to providing quality education and fostering innovation among its students. 

ELEGOO sponsored 3D printers to the district to enhance its educational programs, enhancing the effectiveness of teaching methods and promoting inclusivity. Thanks to this support, Bonham ISD successfully engaged students in hands-on learning experiences that encouraged creativity and problem-solving skills. 

The sponsored efforts led to notable achievements in student participation and project outcomes. In the higher grades, teachers encourage students to explore new realms such as modeling, geometry, and 3D printing through hands-on learning experiences. To unleash students' creativity and design capabilities, with the freedom to create anything they envision using 3D printing technology.

5. Autonomous Robotic Vehicle Project (ARVP)

The ARVP team is an innovative group focused on robotics and engineering projects, particularly noted for their work on the Mini Bot Submersible. 

ELEGOO sponsored the team by providing 3D printers that facilitated their design and development efforts. Thanks to this sponsorship, the team was able to enhance the Mini Bot Submersible, showcasing advanced engineering and innovative design.

Adam Marshall from ARVP mentioned, they use Neptune 4 plus FDM 3D printer for making some internal structures for our battery pods, parts, and mounts for different sub-systems, and many more features. FDM printing is how they do most of their prototyping and design. These new printers would allow them to get through a lot more projects and help with development.
