Where advanced home safety systems meet DIY creativity, making STEM learning worry-free for every family.

SINGAPORE and HONG KONG, Sept. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Global digital creativity brand ugee today announced the official market availability of Funbox, its first desktop 3D printer designed specifically for children and beginners. Now shipping to customers in Singapore and Hong Kong, Funbox combines home-grade safety, one-tap operation, and AI-powered creative tools to turn abstract ideas into tangible 3D creations—making STEAM learning truly accessible, worry-free, and fun for families.

As demand for personal 3D printing and educational tech gadgets surges across Asia-Pacific, Funbox arrives as a timely solution for parents seeking high-quality, child-safe STEAM resources, and for gift buyers looking for innovative tech presents for children aged 6 to 12.

“As 3D printing evolves, there is robust market demand for safe, easy-to-use printers tailored for kids and beginners. Backed by UL certification, our printers provide comprehensive eco-friendly safety protection to put parents’ minds at ease. We aim to make 3D printing accessible to all, not just tech experts. We iterated products around safety, ease and fun: full one-tap operation from unboxing, streamlined workflows and kid-focused interfaces. AI fuels easy creation, making home toy printing simple and delightful. Most importantly, children build creative thinking and problem-solving skills through play, fully aligned with STEAM education,” said Amy Yuan, Global Brand Director of ugee.

Safety: Home-Grade Full-Spectrum Safety Protection Delivers Reliable In-home Usage

Marking an industry benchmark for home safety, Funbox features fully enclosed rounded-edge chassis paired with 12V low-voltage DC power supply complying with strict IEC safety norms to avoid electric shock risks. Equipped with exclusive H12 HEPA filter + activated carbon cotton dual air purification module, along with a 6010 large-sized active exhaust fan — the largest in its class.  It has earned UL GREENGUARD, ASTM F963-23, EN71 & EN62115 international toy safety standards, and the device efficiently traps ultrafine particles and unpleasant odors generated during printing. Different from open-structured rivals like Bambu Lab A1 Mini with exposed high-temperature nozzles and unfiltered exhaust, Funbox supports stable overnight printing inside closed carpeted rooms, eliminating parents’ core worries over indoor air pollution and accidental scalding. Real-time heating indicator alerts also remind users of hot nozzle status whenever replacing filaments or calibrating components for extra protection.

Ease of Use: Zero-Threshold Overall Design Lets Kids Operate Independently

In terms of usability, Funbox comes fully 100% pre-assembled right out of packaging with zero requirement for bed leveling, screw installation or complicated mechanical debugging. Adopting Wi-Fi 6 dual-band wireless connection and proprietary UFun mobile application, it delivers a peak print speed of 500mm/s and ultra-fine 0.05mm minimum layer precision. Three-tier hierarchical slicing modes covering Fast, Standard, and Fine satisfy diverse needs from preschool beginners to teen hobbyists. Built-in 2MP HD camera enables real-time remote monitoring and creative time-lapse shooting, while practical built-in functions including power-loss resume printing and filament jam auto-detection effectively reduce print failure rates and lower daily maintenance burden for both kids and guardians.

Fun & Creation: AI Powers Diversified Creation for Edutainment STEM Experience

Highlighting immersive creative fun and STEM education value, Funbox’s proprietary AI ShapeGen algorithm realizes three intelligent generation modes: voice description, text input and hand-doodle conversion, instantly turning kids’ casual sketches and random ideas into printable 3D models. The UFun App hosts a continuously updated rich resource library filled with toys, stationery, animal crafts and mechanical models, paired with serialized free online STEM tutorial courses that guide children to learn structural design and engineering logic during hands-on making. Unlike Toybox’s closed ecosystem locking users into overpriced proprietary filaments, Funbox fully supports all mainstream universal 1.75mm PLA materials to cut long-term household operating costs and maximize creative freedom.

Pricing & Availability

Funbox is now available for purchase through ugee’s official website, with shipping to Singapore and Hong Kong.

Clear Channel Outdoor and OUTFRONT Team Up with Million Mammograms Challenge to Encourage Early Breast Cancer Screening

National digital billboard campaign promotes early detection during Breast Cancer Awareness Month

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Clear Channel Outdoor and OUTFRONT Media (NYSE: OUT), one of the largest and most-trusted IRL media companies in the U.S., have partnered with the Million Mammograms initiative, benefiting the Cancer Research & Treatment Fund (CR&T). Million Mammograms advocates for women to schedule and share their mammogram dates throughout October. The campaign’s creative is running across digital out-of-home networks with a clear, urgent call to action: encouraging women everywhere to schedule their screenings and take the important next step for their health.

Now in its second year, The Million Mammograms Challenge was created by advertising tech executive Mindie Kaplan with the goal of changing narratives for women around shame, celebrating their femininity and early detection. The campaign shines a light on one of the most common cancers affecting women in the United States, where one in eight will receive a breast cancer diagnosis in their lifetime, featuring the slogan “Cancer Isn’t the Star of My Story.” The campaign stems from the response to Kaplan’s image in the creative, taken by photographer Tom Kubik, which shows her six months after her double mastectomy to commemorate the halfway point of her surgeries. She was emboldened to launch the nationwide Million Mammogram Challenge after receiving an overwhelming number of responses to the photo on her personal Instagram, challenging her followers to post their mammogram dates and seeing how many were encouraged to schedule long-overdue exams.

“Since the launch of the Million Mammograms Challenge, we have worked to reach millions of young women and advocate for them to take the next step in their health journeys by scheduling their mammogram dates,” said Kaplan. “The support of Clear Channel Outdoor and OUTFRONT helps us reach them through billboards they come across in their daily lives and reduce the stigma around breast cancer and early screenings.”

Through the partnership, Clear Channel Outdoor and OUTFRONT are helping to highlight the critical role of early detection through regular mammograms as one of the most powerful tools to save lives, putting their digital networks to work in support of the campaign’s mission.   

“Our joint partnership with the Million Mammograms Challenge reflects the industry’s commitment to leveraging the reach and scale of our networks for good by helping to drive one million mammograms by 2028,” said Dan Levi, EVP & CMO, Clear Channel Outdoor. “The campaign is a reminder of what out-of-home can do when combined with a meaningful cause that inspires real, measurable impact across the communities we serve.”

The campaign’s creative can be seen across thousands of digital billboards nationwide throughout October.

“Mindie started with an idea. Today, it’s a movement with the power to change lives. We’re proud to partner with Million Mammograms and Clear Channel Outdoor to help bring this important message to communities across the country,” said Stacy Minero, Chief Marketing Officer, OUTFRONT. “Together, we’re using the scale of our networks to raise awareness, encourage early detection, and inspire people to take action.”
