Tempus 3D Blog

Discover how forward-thinking manufacturers like General Motors and CGX Systems are using HP Multi Jet Fusion 3D printing to cut costs, speed up production, and bring better products to market faster.

Exploring SLAs impact on manufacturing and when you should use SLA for your design.

Industrial 3D printing isn't just for prototyping. In this month's Tempus Times, see how FDM printing upgrades board games, slashes branded merch costs, and powers Kaizen improvements on the shop floor.

Learn how custom 3D printing supports branded merchandise, game pieces, promotional products, and low-volume custom manufacturing.

Explore how 3D printing can create custom game pieces, branded components, prototypes, and short-run products without tooling.

See how small 3D printed parts can support Kaizen improvements, fixtures, workflow upgrades, and practical manufacturing efficiency.

At its core, 3D printing is about possibility. It allows artists to push creative boundaries and communities to preserve architectural history. We’ve had the privilege of working on three projects that highlight how additive manufacturing supports both artistic expression and architectural storytelling. Here’s a closer look at how 3D printing is shaping arts and architecture in meaningful ways.

This Tempus Times issue introduces Tough 2000 Resin V1 for stronger, stiffer SLA prototypes, functional resin parts, design validation, and small production runs.

At Tempus 3D, we’re pleased to announce that we are now offering Tough 2000 Resin V1 — a high-performance SLA material engineered for strong, stiff, and durable functional parts.

See how FDM 3D printing can be used to design and produce custom safety signs for facility communication, branded signage, and practical low-volume applications. The makerlab tool that makes the magic happen can be found here https://makerworld.com/en/makerlab/imageToKeychain?from=makerlab

In this episode, I'm at the Selkirk Technology Access Center joined by Kailey Allan, who in an Instructor with a background in engineering and industrial design, we are going to be discussing Sustainability in Manufacturing and Design.

Robotics and automation are shifting toward a new design philosophy: machines must be lighter, modular, easily reconfigurable, and far quicker to deploy. At the same time, customers are demanding shorter development cycles, flexible automation cells, and systems that can adapt as their production needs evolve. This pressure has pushed engineering teams to embrace digital manufacturing workflows, particularly industrial 3D printing, as a core enabler of modular design and RMS

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.

This Tempus Times issue compares Cerakote and powder coating for 3D printed plastic parts and highlights aerospace generative design and industrial 3D printing applications.

How does Cerakote perform when applied to 3D printed plastic parts? This handy guide uses powder coat as a baseline comparison.

This Tempus Times issue highlights how 3D printing supports the medical sector, including prosthetic devices, MJF production, and patient-specific components.

This Tempus Times issue shows how 3D printing supports veterinary orthotics and custom protective devices for pets using digital workflows and MJF production.

This video explains the MJF 3D printing workflow, including PA12 nylon printing, powder extraction, blasting, tumbling, vapor smoothing, and finishing options.

This video case story shows how Tempus 3D used HP MJF, PA12 nylon, and TPU to create a custom prosthetic thumb for comfort, fit, and function.

3D printing is a popular manufacturing method in the medical industry to produce tools, equipment, prosthetics, insoles, and other innovative products that improve patient outcomes and make treatment more accessible.
