MATERIALS
Tempus 3D specializes in 3D printing high-performance plastic parts, using industry-leading 3D print technology for functional prototyping and low-to-mid volume manfuacturing of end-use parts.
Rigid Plastics
These all-purpose 3D print materials offer a balance of excellent material properties, fine detail and affordablity. They are 3D printed with HP Multi Jet Fusion technology because of it's ability to rapidly produce robust end-use parts with a high level of detail, complexity, and chemical resistance. It also has near-isotropic strength in the x-y and z axes, giving greater design freedom and strength of the final part. The end result is comparable to injection molding.
HP Nylon PA12
HP Multi Jet Fusion
Strong, detailed, low-cost quality parts
HP Nylon PA12 is a nylon plastic with excellent mechanical properties. Its strength, durability and stiffness make it ideal for a wide range of applications from industrial parts to durable consumer goods. This is our top seller for affordability and balance of all-round material properties.

HP Nylon PA12 Glass Bead
HP Multi Jet Fusion
Stiff, dimensionally stable, quality parts
Nylon PA12 GB is filled with 40% glass microparticles to give stiffness and stability while maintaining the excellent material qualities of HP Nylon PA12. This material has the same fine grain, high density and low porosity of PA12, but is more dimensionally stable. It's ideal for stiff, functional parts like enclosures and housings, fixtures and tools.

Composite / Carbon Fiber
Tempus 3D uses Markforged 3D printing technology to print composite materials which incorporate chopped or continuous fibers to produce parts which are exceptionally strong and resilient. Fibers such as carbon fiber, kevlar or fiberglass are embedded in a nylon base to give customizable, high-performance material properties.
Markforged ONYX
Industrial nylon reinforced with chopped carbon fiber
Strong, stiff end-use parts
Onyx is an industrial nylon filled with micro carbon-fiber filaments that produces accurate parts with a fine surface finish. It is exceptionally strong and tough, and resistant to chemicals. Onyx can also be reinforced with continuous fibers to create parts as strong as aluminum.

Carbon Fiber
Carbon continuous fiber in a nylon base
Aluminum-strength composite parts
Carbon fiber is an ultra-high-strength continuous fiber which is embedded in an Onyx composite base as it is being 3D printed. This printing process using Markforged technology can yield parts as strong as 6061-T6 aluminum. This fiber is extremely stiff and strong, and can be inlaid in a wide variety of geometries.

Kevlar
Kevlar continuous fiber in a nylon base
Tough continuous fiber for high-impact applications
Kevlar is a specialized continuous fiber known for its energy absorption and extreme toughness. When laid into an Onyx composite base it yields extremely impact-resistant parts that are nearly immune to catastrophic failure (fracture). It’s perfect for use in parts that are in demanding environments or are subject to repetitive loading.

Fiberglass
Fiberglass continuous fiber in a nylon base
Continuous fiber for industrial applications
Fiberglass continuous fiber is capable of yielding parts 10x stronger than ABS when laid into an Onyx composite base. It provides a more affordable alternative to Carbon Fiber filament.
