ELEGOO equipment turns ideas into reality

 

ELEGOO, with their range of smart products, including consumer-grade 3D printers, laser engravers, and STEM kits, is an exciting resource for artists and designers integrating  modern technology into their projects. Beyond supplying these advanced tools, the 3D printing developers have evolved into a benefactor for educational institutions and professionals in the field, providing mentorship and equipment to those envisioning the future of creativity. In line with this mission, they have partnered with Jay of JBV Creative to show the potential of their equipment. Through his YouTube channel builds, which reaches over 400,000 subscribers, he has demonstrated the possibilities achievable with a fusion of creativity and machinery.

On JBV Creative’s YouTube channel, watching kinetic sculptures effortlessly juggle spheres and autonomously explore coastlines reveals a mystical allure. The creator behind the videos, Jay, creates the magic with the clever utilization of tools, particularly the ELEGOO’s (see here) Neptune 3 Max and Neptune 4 Max FDM printers. Utilizing these cutting-edge 3D printing solutions, the YouTube content creator brings to life captivating kinetic works for viewers across the internet. The Shenzhen-based technology brand has supported his and other creative ventures, both with equipment and extensive outreach. In this effort to unlock creative potential, they provide forward-thinking tools to open new avenues for a range of artists, engineers, and tinkering enthusiasts.

unlock creative possibilities with ELEGOO 3D printers 

 

On his YouTube channel, Jay can be found crafting expansive mechanical marvels designed for playful tasks. Leveraging the speed and precision of the Neptune 3 Max, he 3D printed components for a GPS-enabled Strandbeest, releasing a near human-scale version onto the seashore. Then, by harnessing the scale capabilities of the Neptune 4 Max, JBV Creative unveiled a roller coaster ‘clock’ that cleverly indicates time through spheres racing along a track. With this project, Jay upscaled his initial prototype, transitioning from a Roller Coaster Tycoon concept to a fully functional SolidWorks model to physical assemblies in his studio, bringing his digital designs to life with the assistance of ELEGOO equipment.

 

‘I have now had the experience and pleasure of working with both the ELEGOO Neptune 3 Max and Neptune 4 Max FDM printers. These printers are massive machines… Having the build volume allowed me to produce the big parts in my shop – stuff that I would normally have to get made elsewhere. This allows me to take chances because working in house really gives me the freedom to iterate.’ comments Jay of JBV Creative.

The ELEGOO Neptune 3 Max and Neptune 4 Max FDM printers’ significant capacity can facilitate the production of large components in-house. This eliminates the need for external manufacturing and provides the flexibility to experiment and iterate freely. Additionally, the brand’s extensive equipment range unlocks the ability to manufacture parts at varying scales, fidelities, and materials. These machines are versatile tools that enable precision and efficiency in the realization of intricate designs – a valuable asset for both hobbyists and professionals in the field, just like JBV Creative.

 

‘3D printing can be incorporated into the processes of pretty much any type of art form. It can be used as a tool to assist creations, such as for making molds, or quickly prototyping forms and shapes. … 3D printing is the most important tool, as it has allowed me to create everything I have made up to this point. It is the medium with which I best understand the rules.’ remarks Jay on the capabilities of 3D printing.

supporting artists with ELEGOO machinery and mentorship

 

Jay is one of ELEGOO’s many collaborative efforts in fostering creation at the intersection of art and technology. Showcasing the educational potential of their equipment, the brand has participated in a number of global initiatives with universities and other knowledge-sharing institutions. The company took on the role of a sponsor for the Concordia University Formula EV Racing Team in Canada, actively contributing to their global competitions. Through assistance in crafting components for their electric vehicle, the Neptune 3 Pro provided students with the tools to translate their design ideas into reality efficiently, optimizing the car’s performance.

Similarly, the brand has partnered with the Interactive Media Arts (IMA) program at New York University (NYU) Shanghai to supply their makerspaces with its digital fabrication machinery. This interconnected collaboration is opening up new realms of creative possibilities for artists and designers to explore within ELEGOO’s advanced technology range.

 

ELEGOO’s digital fabrication tools empower artists by providing them with heightened precision, versatility, and efficiency, facilitating the exploration of advanced, technologically-driven techniques. As the brand extends its support to artists and educational institutions, these tools become more accessible and user-friendly. As a result, individuals with diverse backgrounds and skill levels can readily engage in the creative process.

 

‘Through our educational initiatives and partnerships, ELEGOO aims to unlock the creative potential of the maker community. We believe in providing forward-thinking tools and mentorship to artists, engineers, and tinkering enthusiasts, enabling them to explore new avenues of creativity. With our range of advanced technology products, we strive to turn ideas into reality and empower individuals to bring their digital designs to life.’ says Kevin Wang, Co-founder and Vice President of ELEGOO.
