Robo 3D Printer
K-12 education 3D printer brand under Boxlight; flagship Robo E4 prints at 600 mm/s with HEPA enclosure and bundled MyStemKits STEAM curriculum.
Robo 3D Printer is a San Diego-based brand specializing in 3D printers designed exclusively for K-12 education. Founded in 2012 by San Diego State University graduates Braydon Moreno and Coby Kabili via a Kickstarter campaign that raised over $649,000, the company built its reputation on affordable, educator-friendly desktop 3D printers. Robo was acquired by Boxlight Corporation on April 21, 2020, and continues to operate as a distinct product line under the Boxlight STEAM education portfolio alongside Labdisc and Xploris.
The current flagship product is the Robo E4, an enclosed FFF (Fused Filament Fabrication) classroom printer priced at $1,199. The E4 is purpose-built for shared school environments: it features a fully enclosed design with integrated HEPA filtration for safer indoor use, print speeds up to 600 mm/s, a 220 x 220 x 220 mm (8.7 x 8.7 x 8.7 inch) heated build volume, quick-change nozzle, Wi-Fi/USB/Ethernet connectivity, and cloud printing via RoboCloud. Supported materials include PLA, ABS, and specialty filaments with extruder temperatures up to 280 degrees Celsius. The previous generation Robo E3 won an EdTech Digest Cool Tool Award for Best Maker/DIY Tools Solution in 2024.
Every Robo E4 system ships with a starter plan for MyStemKits, a curriculum library of over 300 standards-aligned K-12 STEAM lesson plans and printable design challenges. Two hours of online teacher training and certification pathways for both teachers and students are included, enabling classroom adoption from day one without prior 3D printing experience. Physical accessories and replacement parts are distributed through the Boxlight online store.
Robo serves schools primarily in the United States and sells through authorized resellers. The brand targets STEAM coordinators, technology teachers, and district administrators seeking turnkey 3D printing programs rather than adapted hobbyist equipment.
