For Freedom to Make 3D Printing Education Incubation Project
Introduction
Inspired by Anycubic' s vision — "For Freedom to Make" — the project is the company' s 3D printing education incubator founded in Shenzhen on September 2, 2020. It demonstrates Anycubic' s aspiration of helping everyone achieve the freedom of creation and invention using 3D printing technologies.
Deemed Anycubic' s first high-tech 3D printing incubator, the project aims to support 3D printing basic research and training, and create a 3D printing education ecological circle to encourage more people to explore the applications of 3D printing in different areas. Support will include 3D printing products, printing services and consultancy, among others.
Incubated partners will hail from various sectors including but not limited to universities, research institutes, and enterprises. This project indicates Anycubic's perseverance in exploring the 3D printing world and boosting the development of innovation in the economy and society.
Addressing the barriers to STEM education will require a collective effort from both institutions and 3D providers, in which we leverage effectively our resources to initiate four 3D printing camps this summer.
The first camp ceremony was held at Yale School of Engineering and Applied Science on April 23 followed by 3 online boot camps known as "ANYCUBIC X Yale Funbotics 3D Modeling and Printing Camp". Guided by Yale mentors, in all boot camps, the students will learn about the inner workings of 3D printers and how to 3D model as well as 3D print their creations.
The Bigger Picture with Education Incubation Project
Promoting 3D printing education and research is a marathon not a sprint. The partnership with Yale Funbotics is Anycubic' s first port of call and the company will continue to work hard to sponsor cooperation with more global universities, research institutes, enterprises, and academic organizations of a global nature and help them achieve success in exploring the world.

Anycubic Contributes the T°Red's Olympic Cycling Falcon Project
(3D printed bikes)
What to Know About Olympic Cycling Falcon Project & the T°Red Team
The Olympic Cycling Falcon Project is a new project looking at the Paris 2024 Olympics, dedicated to the job of helping athletes to realize their dreams through technological innovation. To be specific, it includes a disruptive work on new materials, exclusive design and sustainable technology development. T°Red presents this project in the live broadcast at the Cariplo Factory in Milan on May 9, 2022. In the press presentation, the T°Red team also introduced one of Falcon’s contributors Anycubic Kobra Max 3D printer.
Here is the video recording the story of the journey from the team’s project.
What Brings this Collaboration Opportunity
On the one hand, one of the biggest issues from the T°Red team when the project started was to find the best way to customize bike components for each cyclist and athlete, like gear, saddles etc. Specifically, it was important that touchable and rapid-prototyping 3D test models were needed. So they moved to Anycubic Kobra Max.
On the other hand, Anycubic is a reliable partner for T°Red’s Team, because their 3D printers can save the producing cost and upgrade the success of design. Not only is Anycubic Kobra Max mainly used by the team in the lab as a desktop FDM 3D printer, but also Anycubic C is as well. And Anycubic felt so proud of these printers with excellent performance for the models they made.

How Anycubic Kobra Max Settles the Issue
The key is the performance of the printer
Huge Printing Size - 400*400*450mm
High Printing Precision - Anycubic LeviQ auto-leveling
Rapid Printing Speed - max printing speed up to 180mm/s
Smart Printing Control - intelligent monitoring of filament feeding
(Anycubic Kobra Max is printing)
“What fascinates me about this 3D-printed bike is that it has been the way to see, test, and try many different solutions. For some parts that need a larger printer to be printed, the Kobra Max has been the perfect choice to quickly create the particulars in our labs. After development and test in our laboratory and in the wind tunnel, we could print out the final parts in metal additive manufacturing (Scalmalloy® or Titanium). For us, it is essential to use rapid tools, the automatic printed calibration system. for example, it allows you to be immediately operational and have precision in executing even substantial pieces.”– Romolo Stanco, one of the most innovative and “technological” designers and scientists in Europe and also the designer of the T°Red’s bike team.
We Always Believe in the Future
The contribution of Anycubic Kobra Max 3D printer in the T°Red’s Olympic Cycling Falcon Project showed that 3D printing being applied was born on track to magnify passion on every terrain in the cycling field. Let's jump outside the box. Anycubic, as one part of 3D industry, always believes that the innovation of 3D technology in the future can drive an industrial transformation and have broad prospects, once it is successfully integrated into any other field. Time will prove everything.
