ELEGOO, a fast-growing name in the global smart manufacturing space, will take part in RAPID + TCT 2026 from April 14–16 at the Thomas M. Menino Convention & Exhibition Center in Boston. Located at Booth 1215, the company will introduce its latest large-format resin printer, the Jupiter 2, along with new additions to its ecosystem. The exhibit will also highlight practical 3D printing applications created using the Jupiter 2 and other machines across consumer, creative, and professional settings.

3D Printers Designed for Real Impact
At the event, ELEGOO will unveil a range of flagship products alongside its Matrix APP for remote control and the Nexprint 3D model platform, forming a connected 3D printing ecosystem. Among the new releases is the Jupiter 2, engineered to address the increasing need for larger and more accurate resin prints. With a build volume of 302.40 × 161.98 × 300.00 mm, it allows users to produce bigger models or print multiple parts simultaneously. The lineup will also feature the Centauri Carbon 2 Combo, Saturn 4 Ultra 16K, and OrangeStorm Giga, in addition to various filaments and accessories.

Practical Applications Across Industries
Visitors will see how 3D printing delivers real-world results through a variety of application-focused displays. These will include gaming figurines and props, large robotic structures, functional storage items, dental models, jewelry prototypes, and everyday products like phone stands. Collectively, these examples showcase how ideas can be transformed into functional objects with ease.

To expand on these capabilities, ELEGOO will host a special “Print What You Scan” session on April 15 (6:30 PM – 9:30 PM EDT) at the Westin Boston Seaport District. The event will demonstrate how 3D scanning can be integrated with printing to broaden practical use cases, along with workshops, Q&A sessions, and interactive community activities with creators.

Experience Innovation Firsthand
By focusing on real-world applications, ELEGOO emphasizes the growing accessibility and versatility of 3D printing as a tool for creativity, customization, and problem-solving.

The company invites consumers, media representatives, creators, educators, and industry partners to visit Booth 1215 to explore its solutions, interact with the technology, and discuss potential collaborations.

In Compton Unified School District, located in Compton, CA, technology is viewed as more than a tool for productivity; district leaders see it as a catalyst for transformation and are committed to ensuring equitable access for all students.

“Our goal is to shift students from being mere consumers of technology to becoming its creators,” explains Alvaro Brito, the district’s team administrator.

The district took its initial steps toward this vision by collaborating with Verizon and its nonprofit partners to introduce Verizon Innovative Learning Labs in seven of its 36 schools. These labs are state-of-the-art experiential learning environments designed for Title I schools. They feature cutting-edge technologies like augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and 3D printing, paired with a project-based curriculum that encourages students to use technology, social innovation, and design thinking to create solutions that positively impact their communities.

Recognizing the success of these labs, district leaders sought to expand their reach to all 36 schools. “We didn’t want only a few schools to benefit from these incredible labs; we aimed to replicate the experience across the entire district,” Brito says.

The Verizon Innovative Learning Lab program has empowered schools nationwide to become hubs of innovation, and Compton Unified saw significant benefits from the initiative. At Davis Middle School, the district’s first lab participant, the program boosted student engagement, attendance, and interest in solving real-world community problems. “Verizon noticed these positive changes as well,” notes Michele Dawson, Compton Unified’s senior director of innovation and technology.

Using the existing labs as a blueprint, educators developed a plan to scale the program. Principals identified suitable spaces within their schools for transformation, while technology and furniture were procured to create similar learning environments.

Staff training was also a critical component of the expansion. In summer 2022, 30 teachers participated in a week-long professional development session led by Arizona State University, which designs the program’s STEM curriculum and training. “We assembled a cohort of educators from across the district to train on the technologies featured in the labs,” Brito explains.

The result was the rapid establishment of STEAM labs throughout the district, benefiting both students and teachers. These labs became innovation hubs where educators could learn to use new technologies and build their skills.

Students, naturally adept at adapting to technology, embraced the labs enthusiastically. “They often think they’re just playing, but they’re actually developing skills that could one day benefit them and their families,” shares Susanna Miranda, principal of Clinton Elementary School.

Miranda is deeply committed to preparing her students for the future. “I want my students to see themselves as engineers and coders,” she says. As a member of the same community, Miranda feels a personal connection to her students and is determined to provide them with every opportunity for success.

Dawson reflects on the program’s broader impact: “We’ve accelerated our students’ journey into 21st-century learning and innovation. This initiative has transformed the trajectory of Compton Unified School District, propelling it into the future.”
