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!

PA-12S: A Better Look with the Same Trusted Performance
HP’s new PA-12S material is a next-generation version of the classic PA-12 Nylon that many of our customers already use. It offers the same strength, durability, and reusability, but with some nice improvements:
Cleaner, more uniform surface finish
Improved consistency across complex builds
Almost no changes to part strength or material waste
So if you’ve used PA-12 before, you can expect the same great performance with a smoother, more polished look.
SLA Printing: High Detail and Smooth Finish
We’re also excited to add SLA printing to our services. SLA uses a liquid resin and a laser to build parts with extremely fine detail and smooth surfaces. It’s a great option when visual quality and precision really matter.
SLA is ideal for:
Highly detailed prototypes
Small parts with fine features
Molds, patterns, and tools
End-use parts that need a polished appearance
We’re currently finalizing our specific list of resins, so stay tuned for more info!
