SHORT GUIDE IN PAINTING 3D PLA MODELS Here are a few steps you should follow when painting your 3D models: 1. Cleaning up. After your print has finished clean your model and give it the final retouches it needs. You can remove tiny artefacts using an Exacto blade or Stanley knife. For removing rough surfaces from where support was attached, you can use a Dremel tool. HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO 3D PRINT? 3D printing costs depend on the type of printing technology used. There are 3 types: SLS (Selective Laser Sintering), SLA (Stereolithography) and FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling). FDM is the cheapest technology among the three listed, and SLS is the most expensive one. You can find an affordable FDM printer from €100, while an SLS machine will FIRMWARE : LEAPFROG CUSTOMER SUPPORT CENTER Find out which firmware your machine needs by following these steps: 1) Does your Creatr have a black drag chain that guides the wires from the printing Wed, 11 Mar, 2020 at 8:50 AM.

Better hinging capabilities, better chemical resistance, and a good surface finish; these are the things that will appeal to a lot for unique users and specialized industries. And right now, our unique experience with the Leapfrog Bolt Pro 3D printer feels 3D PRINTING HYBRID FILAMENT ABS. ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is a strong popular filament that is used widely for 3D printing parts. It has strong material properties which produce parts with high impact, high-temperature resista nce. Having these qualities however does make it a little harder to print with than some other filaments, but our printers come with a heated bed that ensures the filament is INDEPENDENT DUAL EXTRUDERS IDEX – short for Independent Dual Extruders – is the 3D printing technique that allows two print heads to move independently from each other. Each head has its own nozzle and can print with the same, or different material than the other head. This technology has a number of advantages in comparison to a single head with dual extruders.

TESTIMONIALS

VIDEO TESTIMONIAL: FUJITSU AIMING HIGH WITH THE BOLT PRO WHY DID WE CHOOSE THE BOLT PRO > ‘We chose Leapfrog instead of other brands for two reasons. > Firstly, because it has an open environment that allowed us to use a > variety of materials rather than limiting to just one. Secondly, > because it has certain features that we didn’t find in other > machines of its range.’

*

WE USE THE BOLT PRO TO CREATE DESIGNS THAT WERE MADE WITH TRADITIONAL TECHNOLOGY LIKE MILLING.

*

CREATING TOOLING FOR THE PRODUCTION LINE.

*

3D PRINTING REQUIRES FEWER PARTS, THE COST IS LESS AND ITS MUCH FASTER, ADDITIONALLY IT HAS THE FLEXIBILITY TO TEST MULTIPLE CONCEPTS WITHOUT INCREASING COSTS TO THE PRODUCTION LINES, WHICH IS IMPORTANT.

*

THE RETURN ON INVESTMENT HAS BEEN VERY FAST, IN ABOUT 6 MONTHS.

*

WE HAVE NOTICED THAT OUR FLEXIBILITY AND OUR SPEED TO TRY NEW CONCEPTS HAS INCREASED EXPONENTIALLY. _LUIS DE LA JARA, COORDINATOR MECHANICAL DESIGNERS_ _AUTOMOTIVE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT FUJISTU SPAIN_ SEE VIDEO TESTIMONIAL KLM AND LEAPFROG: A SUCCESS STORY WHY DID WE CHOOSE THE BOLT PRO 3D PRINTER?

*

WE CHOSE THE BOLT PRO BECAUSE OF ITS RIGIDITY AND THE OPTION TO PRINT TWO PARTS SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH THE TWO HEADS. ANOTHER ADVANTAGE IS THE ABILITY TO PRINT HIGH-TEMPERATURE MATERIALS. WE HAVE TWO BOLT PRO PRINTERS IN OUR ENGINEERING & MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT:

*

WE ALSO PRINT PROTOTYPES OF SMALL AIRCRAFT CABIN PARTS. THESE PROTOTYPES ARE ACTUALLY TESTED ON BOARD BY CABIN CREW. FINAL DESIGNS ARE MASS PRODUCED BY INJECTION MOLDING FROM CERTIFIED MATERIALS.

*

THE DIMENSIONAL ACCURACY OF THE PRINTS IS VERY GOOD. > ‘_I CERTAINLY RECOMMEND THE BOLT PRO BECAUSE OF ITS RIGIDITY, ITS > LARGE PRINT BED AND THE TWO PRINT HEADS WHICH DOUBLE THE PRINT SPEED > ONCE MORE SIMILAR PARTS ARE NEEDED. I THINK THE LEAPFROG BOLT PRO IS > VERY SUITABLE FOR ENGINEERING IN PROTOTYPING AND IT CAN EVEN PRODUCE > A SMALL SERIES OF PLASTIC PARTS’_. _MAARTEN OTTEVANGER, PROCESS ENGINEER_ _ KLM Engineering & Maintenance_ WHAT IS VOLKSWAGEN USING THE LEAPFROG 3D PRINTERS FOR? REASONS WHY WE CHOSE THE LEAPFROG BOLT PRO

*

THE BOLT WAS ANALYZED AS THE BEST MACHINE FOR PRINTING FLEXIBLE MATERIALS DUE TO THE DIRECT DRIVE SYSTEM

*

RELATIVELY LARGE BUILD VOLUME, ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING SIZE VS. COST

*

2 INDEPENDENT DUAL EXTRUDER SYSTEM IDEX SINCE WE ASSEMBLE CARS FOR BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT DRIVING SIDES, SO THIS HELPS A LOT FOR BUILDING

MIRROR PARTS

*

RELIABLE – ALTHOUGH WE HAD OUR STARTUP ISSUES WITH THIS UNIT, SUPPORT WAS GOOD AND WE MANAGED TO CORRECT ISSUES. WE BELIEVE THE LEAPFROG BOLT PRO IS A VERY RELIABLE MACHINE FOR THE WAY WE USE THIS

EQUIPMENT.

WHAT ARE WE USING THE BOLT PRO FOR?

*

SERIAL TOOL PRODUCTION IN OUR PRODUCTION LINE

*

WE HAVE INSERTED 3D PRINTING INTO OUR ASSEMBLY PROCESS THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE PRODUCTION LINE Summarizing, our engineers using the Leapfrog 3D printers are more than thrilled about the results and potential the Leapfrog printers have; your 3D printers are better from numerous points of view (PRINTING MATERIALS, IDEX, BUILD VOLUME ETC). At the same time, we also see room for improvements and are happy to share feedback for further development ideas. 5 REASONS WHY ROLLS ROYCE CHOSE LEAPFROG’S 3D PRINTERS THE FEATURES THAT MADE THE BOLT PRO IDEAL FOR ROLLS ROYCE Rolls Royce was in the market for a new 3D printing solution so as to be able to expand their internal rapid prototyping capabilities. They looked at various machines We looked at a range of machines from cheap Chinese hobbyist machines all the way up to eye-watering expensive liquid polymer based printers but our deciding criteria were:

*

DUAL EXTRUSION – SOLUBLE SUPPORT MATERIAL IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR THE TYPES OF MODELS WE WILL BE PRINTING, OFTEN INVOLVING LARGE OVERHANGS AND INTRICATE INTERNAL FEATURES.

*

FULL ENCLOSURE – TWO REASONS FOR THIS, FIRST BEING TO STOP THE CURIOUS/IGNORANT INJURING THEMSELVES AND THE SECOND IS TO PROVIDE AN ENVIRONMENT CONDUCIVE TO MAXIMISING PRINT QUALITY. THE ONLY AREA WHERE THE LEAPFROG BOLT PRO COULD BE BETTER IS A HEATED ENCLOSURE BUT SINCE THIS APPEARS TO BE AN ABS ONLY ISSUE AND WE’RE GETTING SUCH GOOD RESULTS FROM PLA THEN THIS MAY NOT BE AN ISSUE IN THE LONG RUN.

*

PRINT QUALITY – WE HAD A FEW SAMPLES MADE UP ON THE LEAPFROG BOLT AND WERE PLEASED WITH THE RESULTS

*

PRICE – THE COST WAS IN THE RIGHT BALLPARK TO BE ABLE TO MAKE THE BUSINESS CASE FOR THE LEADERSHIP TEAM. Rez Manzoori – BEng(Hons) CEng MRAeS Turbine Sub-System Integration CROCS™ – BOLT PRO ADVANTAGES FOR DESIGN. WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THE BOLT PRO 3D PRINTER?

*

THE BOLT IS FITTED WITH A LARGE BUILD VOLUME. LARGE ENOUGH TO CREATE PROTOTYPES THAT CAN BE TESTED FOR IMPROVEMENT.

*

IT ALSO CAN PRINT MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF MATERIALS, INCLUDING FLEXIBLE PLASTIC. IN GENERAL, 3D PRINTING USING FLEXIBLE MATERIAL CAN PROVE TO BE DIFFICULT, BUT THE ADVANCED DIRECT DRIVE OF THE BOLT CONTROLS THE FLOW OF THE FILAMENT EXPERTLY THROUGH THE NOZZLE. WHAT ARE WE USING THE LEAPFROG 3D PRINTERS FOR? For PROTOTYPING, to be able to DEVELOP NEW PRODUCTS QUICKLY. Today we have many different models of Crocs footwear. This achievement has been by thinking of prototyping in a different way using Leapfrog’s

Bolt 3D Printer.

WHAT IS YOUR GENERAL IMPRESSION OF 3D PRINTING AND THE LEAPFROG BOLT? Enthusiasm for the Bolt has started to become recognized outside of Crocs innovation department with our international colleagues. WE RECOMMEND THIS MACHINE for prototyping purposes in most PROFESSIONAL

ENVIRONMENTS.
