Elegoo Expands CSR Programs for Social Inclusion

Elegoo, a rapidly growing brand in the global smart manufacturing landscape, is marking a significant milestone in its journey by celebrating its 10th anniversary. The company has recently announced an expansion of its corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives through the launch of "ELEGOO Empowers," a groundbreaking program designed to enhance social inclusion, encourage STEM education, and promote equal opportunities via 3D printing technology.

A New Chapter in CSR

The introduction of ELEGOO Empowers represents a pivotal moment in the company's CSR efforts, bringing together existing initiatives under a unified framework. This program focuses on three core areas:

1. ELEGOO Gives A Hand: This initiative aims to harness the power of 3D printing to create practical solutions for people and animals in need. Collaborating with partners like 3D Pets, Elegoo develops various aids, including prosthetics, harnesses, and assistive devices. Upcoming projects promise to deliver even more heartwarming innovations.

2. ELEGOO With Her: Aiming to close the gender gap in technology, this initiative encourages more women to enhance their 3D printing skills through hands-on workshops and a supportive community. As the first 3D printer manufacturer taking significant steps toward addressing gender disparities, Elegoo aims to cultivate an inclusive environment where women can learn, connect, and create impactful projects. Current participants' projects will be showcased this June.

3. ELEGOO In Action: Focusing on STEM education, this initiative provides 3D printers, supports learning initiatives, and offers practical resources to schools, libraries, and student clubs worldwide. By helping young creators explore robotics, model building, and various real-world applications, Elegoo has partnered with over 120 educational institutions globally since last year.

As Chris Hong, the founder and CEO of Elegoo, stated, "With ELEGOO Empowers, we are extending this spirit beyond desktop usage to help build a more inclusive and connected world. Inspired by our users' voices, we will continue down this path and warmly invite more partners to join us in making this technology more meaningful and accessible."

A Decade of Innovation and Empowerment

For the past ten years, Elegoo has been at the forefront of 3D printing technology, empowering users around the globe. Many have shared their "ELEGOO moments," stories of giving back and helping others through innovative uses of 3D printing. Looking ahead, the company is dedicated to making 3D printing technology more accessible and advancing its ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) efforts to foster a sustainable and inclusive future.

Founded in 2015, Elegoo specializes in developing and manufacturing consumer 3D printers, laser engravers, STEM kits, and other smart technology products. Based in Shenzhen, China, often referred to as the Silicon Valley of the country, Elegoo has achieved significant growth, selling millions of products in over 90 countries and regions. In 2024, the company reported total sales exceeding $200 million, with a workforce of over 800 employees and nearly 30,000 square meters of office and manufacturing space. By focusing on programming and 3D printing technology, Elegoo aims to provide unique and intelligent creative spaces for diverse consumers, enhancing personalized experiences.
