Hong Kong – October 12, 2026 -- ugee has launched ugee maker, a moderated, kid-friendly 3D printing community for families and beginners, and anyone who signs up for an account is entered into a $1,000 prize giveaway.

The platform targets what ugee describes as a gap in the market. Beginners currently choose between technical communities with little safety guidance for young users and family-friendly platforms that require buying a specific brand's hardware. ugee maker offers a third option for parents, kids and newcomers.

Every official model is pre-tested for reliable printing

Failed prints caused by faulty files are a major source of frustration for novices. ugee says each official file is pre-tested and validated to print reliably on virtually all consumer-grade 3D printers. All designs come in universal STL format.

Shenzhen – September 18, 2026 -- ugee has launched the ArtPlay Pad, a children's drawing tablet that converts 2D sketches into 3D models and physical objects, available starting September 15, 2026, through the company's official shop.

EMR pen technology aims to replicate pencil-on-paper friction

Unlike most kids' tablets that rely on capacitive pens, the ArtPlay Pad uses professional-grade EMR (Electro-Magnetic Resonance) technology with 16K pressure sensitivity, paired with a paper-like anti-glare display and full palm rejection. Amy Yuan, ugee's Global Brand Director, said the goal was to solve three problems: the slick, unresponsive feel of glass screens, the gap between flat drawing and 3D thinking, and eye strain from prolonged screen use.
