This achievement has been by thinking of prototyping in a different way using Leapfrog’s Bolt 3D Printer. Today we have many different models of Crocs footwear. What are we using the Leapfrog 3D Printers for?įor prototyping, to be able to develop new products quickly. 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.

It also can print many different types of materials, including flexible plastic.

Large enough to create prototypes that can be tested for improvement.

The Bolt is fitted with a large build volume.

Why did you choose the Bolt Pro 3D Printer?

Price – The cost was in the right ballpark to be able to make the business case for the leadership team.Ĭrocs™ – Bolt Pro advantages for design.

Print quality – We had a few samples made up on the Leapfrog bolt and were pleased with the results.

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.
