Gain a Competitive Advantage with Industrial 3D Printing

An increasing number of companies are embracing 3D printing as a strategic and cost-effective approach to manufacturing products. Among the many benefits are savings in cost of production, time to manufacture, quick iteration of prototypes, mass customization, and rapid delivery. Key Benefits of Industrial 3D Printing Accelerated time to market. Move from concept to production in days, not months. Additive manufacturing dramatically shortens lead times so you can launch faste

Consolidated Parts with Canadian online 3d printing service using multi jet fusion technology for industrial 3d printing of robotics parts in pa12, vapor smoothing, Cerakote finishing

Robotics Part Consolidation - Optimized with 3D Printing

Robotics and automation systems are becoming increasingly complex—yet the market demand is trending in the opposite direction: lighter, more modular, more reliable machines with drastically shorter development cycles. To meet these pressures, engineering teams are turning toward digital manufacturing workflows, especially industrial 3D printing, to rethink how robotic components are designed and built.

Big News at Tempus 3D: We will be soon Printing with PA-12S and SLA!

We’re excited to share two new upgrades to our 3D printing lineup at Tempus 3D. First, we are soon switching over to PA-12S for all of our Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) prints. Second, we’re now offering SLA (Stereolithography) printing as a new service. Both changes are part of our goal to give you even better-looking parts, more options, and consistent results every time you order.

Introducing SLA Printing at Tempus 3D with the Formlabs 3BL

We’re excited to share that SLA printing is soon available at Tempus 3D! We’ve added a Formlabs 3BL to our production lineup, expanding the range of high-quality parts we can offer and giving you more options for detailed, precision work. Whether you need smooth surface finishes, fine features, or functional prototypes that closely match final products, SLA is a powerful addition to your manufacturing toolkit. What Is SLA Printing? SLA, or stereolithography, is a resin-bas

Canadian 3D printing company printing with Nylon PA-12S

Upgrading to PA-12S: What You Need to Know

At Tempus 3D, we’re always looking for ways to improve the quality, consistency, and performance of the parts we produce. That’s why we’ve made the decision to switch all of our in-house Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) production from PA-12 to PA-12S. While PA-12S may sound like a small variation, it introduces a number of subtle improvements that benefit both the printing process and the final part quality. What Is PA-12S? PA-12S is HP’s next-generation nylon 12 material for MJF

SLS vs MJF 3D Printing: What’s the Difference and Which One Should You Choose?

If you’re looking to print strong, functional plastic parts, two of the most popular industrial 3D printing technologies are SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) and MJF (Multi Jet Fusion). At a glance, they might look similar. Both are powder bed fusion processes and often use the same materials like Nylon PA 12. But under the surface, they work in different ways. Those differences can have a big impact on print speed, surface finish, material options, and overall part performan

Quiet Power: How Tempus 3D Helped Push the Limits of Drone Propulsion

Philip Carter's drone fully assembled When Philip started building aircraft as a teenager, he wasn’t just exploring how things fly—he was questioning how they should. Years later, he’s become a specialist in a complex area of drone design: ducted, counter-rotating propulsion systems that emphasize safety, reduced noise, and control. “My drones aren’t flying cameras,” Philip says. “They’re platforms for testing new propulsion concepts.” With experience contributing to open-sou
