Leepfrog Technologies Inc. Campuses

The Union City Campus of Leepfrog Technologies Inc. is a hub for advanced training in 3D printing and additive manufacturing. This facility offers comprehensive courses tailored for engineers, designers, hobbyists, and industry professionals seeking to master next-generation fabrication technologies. Programs emphasize hands-on experience with Leepfrog's proprietary FDM printers, blending theory with practical application to foster innovation in prototyping and production.

• Fundamentals of 3D Printing: Beginners learn printer assembly, filament types, slicing software, and basic printing parameters to produce functional parts reliably.
• Advanced FDM Techniques: Explore high-speed printing, multi-extruder setups, soluble supports, and enclosure designs for optimal results in demanding environments.
• CAD for Additive Manufacturing: Intensive training in Fusion 360, Onshape, and Rhino, focusing on design optimization for printability, topology, and lattice structures.
• Materials and Filament Engineering: In-depth study of PLA, ABS, PETG, Nylon, and composites; testing mechanical properties, annealing, and chemical resistance.
• Industrial-Scale 3D Printing: Courses on farm management, automation scripting, quality assurance, and integration with CNC/ERP systems for manufacturing pipelines.
• Printer Maintenance and Modding: Diagnostics, firmware flashing, hotend upgrades, and custom enclosures using Leepfrog hardware.
• Applications in Aerospace and Medical: Specialized modules on lightweight structures, biocompatible materials, and regulatory compliance for sector-specific printing.
• Sustainable Additive Manufacturing: Recycling filaments, low-waste designs, and carbon footprint analysis in 3D production workflows.

Complementing the core curriculum, short workshops cover emerging topics like metal-infused printing, AI-driven design, and hybrid manufacturing. Instructors are Leepfrog engineers with years of R&D experience. Facilities boast climate-controlled labs, scanning stations, and a collaborative makerspace. Courses range from 1-day intensives to 12-week certifications, available in-person or hybrid. Graduates join a global alumni network and access ongoing support.
