Rainman Audio + Tempus 3D

The Benefits of Keeping Manufacturing Local: A Client Spotlight on Rainman 

In product development, being able to work closely with a manufacturer can make a huge difference. Charlie O-Shea, founder of Rainman, has seen this firsthand. By partnering with Tempus 3D, a Canadian additive manufacturing company, he’s been able to take a more hands-on approach, ensuring his products are made efficiently and with minimal error. 

"The benefits and purpose of working with Tempus 3D, a local manufacturing company, is the ability that you can work closely, with a hands-on approach.... and make changes if needed. No second guessing through emails and less time wasted with mailing and deliveries. This can end up being a substantial savings." – Charlie O-Shea, Rainman 

Why Work with a Canadian Manufacturer? 

Faster Turnaround & Cost Savings 

Working with an overseas manufacturer often means long lead times, unexpected shipping costs, and delays. Keeping production local eliminates a lot of that hassle. As Charlie points out, fewer emails, reduced shipping time, and the ability to make changes in person add up to serious time and cost savings. 

Hands-On Collaboration & Quality Control 

Having direct access to a manufacturing partner allows for quicker decision-making and fewer mistakes. Rather than going back and forth over emails, businesses can meet in person, see the production process firsthand, and make necessary adjustments right away. That kind of direct involvement ensures a higher level of quality and precision. 

Supporting Local Innovation & Sustainability 

Choosing a Canadian manufacturer doesn’t just benefit individual businesses—it supports the local economy and helps drive innovation at home. It also reduces the environmental impact of international shipping, making the entire process more sustainable. 

How Rainman Benefits from Local Manufacturing 

 By working with Tempus 3D, Charlie has been able to streamline production, minimize errors, and get products to market faster. It’s a great example of how local partnerships can make manufacturing more efficient and reliable, and much less stressful!
