Learn More > Design Guidelines Build volume Max build volume: Up to 332 x 190 x 248 mm (13.1" x 7.5" x 9.8") Min build volume: 4 x 4 x 1 m or x + y + z > 9mm (10 x 10 x 10 if vapor smoothed) The bounding box is based on the build volume of the 3D printer. Large parts may be re-oriented to fit the bounding box. For oversize parts, consider re-designing as a multi-part assembly. Wall thickness Supported wall thickness min: 0.4 mm (natural), 1.5 mm (smooth) Unsupported wall thickness min: 0.5 mm (natural), 1.5 mm (smooth) A supported wall is connected on at least 2 sides of the wall. Wires Supported wires min: 0.8 mm (natural), 1.5 mm (smooth) Unsupported wires min: 0.9 mm (natural), 1.5 mm (smooth) A wire is a feature that is thinner in its unconnected directions than its length. A supported wire is connected on at least 2 sides, and an unsupported wire is connected on only one side. Details Min embossed details: 0.2 mm high & wide (natural), 0.5 mm (smooth), 0.4 mm (text, logos, icons) Min engraved details: 0.2 mm deep & wide (natural), 0.4 mm (smooth), 0.4 mm (text, logos, icons) For text the ratio between width and depth should be 1:1. Sans-serif fonts provide better results. Escape holes Single escape hole diameter (min): 4.0 mm (natural), 10 mm (smooth) Multiple escape hole diameter (min): 2.0 mm (natural), 8.0 mm (smooth) Escape holes are used to empty support material from a hollow model. Having two escape holes at opposite ends of the model is optimal for removing the support material. For larger models or more complex geometries it is recommended and make the escape holes bigger or add more escape holes as needed. Clearance Min 0.6 mm (natural), 5.0 mm (smooth) Clearance is the space between two individual parts in a model. This is important to consider with moving parts, such as hinges and gears. Sprues 2 mm thick, attached on at least 2 places per part Sprues are wires that connect two or more parts. There should be at least two sprues connecting each part. You may need larger sprues for larger pieces. Interlocking and enclosed parts Natural: interlocking and enclosed parts are possible. Smooth: Interlocking and enclosed parts will most likely fuse together in the vapor smoothing process. Design Considerations Save full-color files in .vmrl file format to capture both geometry and model color. Please note that .vmrl files are not currently recognized by our instant quoting system, these need to be provided as a separate file to the production team. Pleas e note that black and dark colors will not appear true to color due to limitations of the printing technology. Consider hollowing or adding internal lattice structure to large solid pieces to improve accuracy and minimize cost. Hinges, sockets, and linked parts can be integrated into the design.

- Tempus 3D | 3D Printed Medical Back Brace
Montreal-based medical services innovator uses 3D printing technology to develop custom form-fitted and breathable back braces to improve patient comfort and outcomes. 3D Printed Medical Back Brace Montreal-based medical services innovator uses 3D printing technology to develop custom form-fitted and breathable back braces to improve patient comfort and outcomes. A medical services innovator based in Montreal, Quebec approached Tempus 3D with a back brace design to manufacture for them. They were looking for a company with the capacity to build the extra-large piece with material that had the strength, flexibility and resilience to be worn for long periods of time. The team at Tempus collaborated with HP and Hawkridge to provide a solution that suited their manufacturing requirements, while keeping cost and production time to a minimum. Key benefits Mass low-cost customization Complex geometries that result in reduced part cost Photo courtesy of Airforce Velocity Stacks Organization Montreal, Quebec based medical services innovator Industry Medical Prosthetics and Braces Partners HP , Hawkridge Systems , STAC Technology HP Multi Jet Fusion 5200 , with build dimensions of 380 x 284 x 380 mm Material HP Nylon PA12 Software Solidworks Post Processing Bead blasted and dyed black Challenge The biggest challenge with this project was the large size of the brace. When large, flat parts are 3D printed there is a risk of the piece warping because of the uneven cooling that can occur as the part is being built. Also, there are not many commercial 3D printers which can manufacture such large pieces. The secondary challenge was to ensure the material had the strength, durability and flexibility to provide comfortable support and was suitable to be used as a medical device. Solution The team at Tempus 3D was able to leverage HP Multi Jet Fusion 3D printing technology, which provides the class-leading build volume and part quality required to successfully manufacture this design. With this printer all of the parts for the brace could all be fit into one print run, which saves manufacturing time and cost. The greatest risk in the production of the brace was the potential for the pieces to warp, because the difference in temperatures across large, flat pieces can bend them as they cool. Tempus 3D drew on support from experts at HP and Hawkridge Systems, who worked with the team at Tempus to ensure the part orientation and print settings were optimized for the best result. The template for this build can now be used to print the same or similar pieces for the supplier on-demand with precise repeatability between prints. The other consideration in building the brace was to select a material that was suitable for a medical device used on or near the skin. Nylon 12 was the material of choice because it has a high tensile strength, is water proof and certified biocompatible. It also has enough flexibility to accomodate the patient's movement without losing it’s support. Result Tempus collaborated with their partners at HP, Hawkridge systems, and the client to produce a part that exceeded their expectations in terms of finish, colour, accuracy, and cost. We look forward to continue building these parts that have the potential to positively impact patient outcomes and lead to further advancement in the Canadian medical sector.

- Tempus 3D | Spark Laser Reduces Cost and Time to Market with 3D Printing
Learn how Tempus 3D was able to help Spark Laser save money, reduce time to market and improve their product design for their laser cutting equipment using HP Multi Jet Fusion 3D printing technology. Case Study Spark Laser reduces time to market and development costs with industrial 3D printing. Spark Laser is a company based in Vancouver, BC that specializes in the design and manufacturing of commercial laser cutting machines. Spark Laser was looking for a local manufacturer that was able to rapidly produce low-volume production runs of prototypes and end-use plastic parts that were robust enough for an industrial environment, and affordable enough to keep their production costs down. With approximately 40 unique parts to manufacture, traditional methods like Injection molding would costs thousands of dollars and months to produce, without the flexibility to do on-the-fly design modifications. Spark Laser approached Tempus 3D to find a solution. With HP Multi Jet Fusion 3D printing technology, Tempus 3D was able to provide high-quality, robust plastic parts at a fraction of the cost of injection molding, with the ability to revise the design as needed and have their parts produced within days of ordering. This allowed Spark Laser to get their product to market faster and more affordably while maintaining the design freedom they need as they continue to innovate. Key benefits Able to get their product to market quickly and affordably Save thousands of dollars on production costs, compared to injection molding. High-quality plastic parts produced in days, not weeks or months. Prototype and manufacture consumer-ready end-use parts with the same CAD files and 3D printing technology. Photo courtesy of Spark Laser Organization Spark Laser Industry Manufacturing Technology HP Multi Jet Fusion Materials Nylon PA12 Introduction Spark Laser is a Vancouver, British Columbia (BC) based manufacturer of commercial and industrial lasers. They are building desktop lasers for customers across Canada and the United States. Their lasers are designed specifically to address a gap in the laser market by providing a high quality and cost-effective solution for customers not wanting to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on industrial-sized products. The founder of Spark Laser, Yousef Javaher, was looking to manufacture these lasers in Canada. A mutual business connection introduced him to Tempus 3D , a Canadian 3D printing Service Bureau specializing in manufacturing industrial plastics. Challenge Spark laser was needing approximately 40 internal parts for the lasers and needed to be able to iterate the design quickly and cost-effectively to come up with an optimal product ideally suited to their target market. These parts needed to be robust enough to withstand long-term use in an industrial environment, and they needed to be able to manufacture the parts or revise the design with minimal cost and lag time. Due to the relatively low volume of initial production, most traditional methods of manufacturing products were not viable options. Solution Spark Laser recognized very early on that the cost of producing moulds for each of the parts and then changing the design and iterating with traditional manufacturing methods was not viable. The cost of having moulds produced for each part would have ranged from as low as $5,000 per part up to $20,000 for some of the more complex parts, and this would have been multiplied by the number of iterations to the parts. Additionally, the complexity of design of some of the parts was not feasible for injection molding processes. Spark Laser was an early adopter of 3D printing as a solution to the design challenges of building a complex product like a laser from the bottom up. They began using desktop 3D printers for quick in-house iteration, but when it came to producing the final product they needed parts that were comparable in quality, consistency, and asthetics to injection molding. The parts produced by the desktop printer were not precise or robust enough for an end-use product. This is where Tempus 3D was able to really deliver value. Spark Laser had Tempus produce their first set of parts in the summer of 2021, which were used to build the first functioning prototype laser. These parts were produced on Tempus 3D’s in-house HP Multi Jet Fusion 5200 3D printer, which is capable of producing large volumes of high quality parts with accuracy and aesthetics comparable to injection molding. Result Using industrial 3D printing allowed Spark laser was able to get their product to market quickly, and secure significant orders through a distribution partner. This has allowed Spark to test the market early without incurring massive research and design costs while keeping their inventory and raw materials cost near zero. They can essentially just order parts and raw materials on an as-needed basis and scale in a way that only 3D printing would allow. Spark Laser and Tempus 3D continue to work together with the production of parts, and are both heavily invested in bringing manufacturing back to Canada. As Spark continues to see increasing demand for their products, Tempus is there to help them scale and meet their needs. The Future The manufacturing partnership between Spark Laser and Tempus 3D is a prime example of what manufacturing will look like in the future. The manufacturing process will be more responsive, more customized, and more local allowing innovators across sectors to bring products to market more quickly and in a more environmentally friendly way.

- Tempus 3D | Case Study - 3D Printing Replacement Parts for Recreational Vehicles
An RV owner could not find a replacement door handle for his RV, and was looking for a manufacturer that could upgrade the design and manufacture a new handle. They collaborated with Tempus 3D to re-design the part to their satisfaction and manufacture a replacement. The final part was 3D printed with HP Multi Jet Fusion technology, using Nylon PA12 for it's ability to withstand long-term weather and UV damage. Read the full article to learn more. Case Study - Creating Replacement Parts for Marine Applications with 3D Scanning and 3D Printing A boat owner in Trail BC broke a critical part in the throttle mechanism in his boat and was unable to source an affordable replacement. The owner was able to improve the part design and manufacture a replacement quickly and affordably, with the help of Tempus 3D's 3D scanning and additive manufacturing technology. Key Benefits Reduce cost of replacement parts. Create replacements when parts are unavailable. Opportunity to improve design and performance to eliminate future failures. Reduce environmental impact by replacing parts instead of discarding assemblies. Industry Marine, replacement parts, consumer goods Partners Selkirk Technology Access Centre Selkirk College Digital Fabrication & Design Technology HP Multi Jet Fusion 5200 3D printer Creaform HandySCAN Material HP Nylon PA12 Software Fusion 360 Post Processing Black dye Introduction Paul was heading out for a day on the lake with his family when a critical component in his boat failed, forcing him to bring the boat back to shore and cancel his plans. The failure happened in the throttle assembly as he was heading out for a day on the water. The plastic trigger that engages the throttle had snapped, leaving Paul unable to operate the boat. The boat was limped to shore where it was loaded onto the boat trailer and hauled back to town. Challenge The boat was taken to a local marine repair shop for diagnostics. It was quickly determined that the failure was due to the broken piece of red plastic located within the throttle control housing, as shown in the picture. The marine repair shop informed Paul that the piece was not available for purchase individually and he would have to purchase an entire throttle assembly. This seemed unnecessarily expensive and wasteful, so Paul decided to seek other solutions. Paul's first thought was to superglue the broken pieces back together. This was the simplest solution, but he knew this was a temporary fix and the part would break again under similar circumstances. When the part originally broke Paul was fortunate to be close to shore, but the last thing he wanted was for the part to break again in an isolated area. He decided that superglue was not an acceptable solution and began to explore other options. As he considered his options, Paul realized that a friend of his had a son who may be able to help him out. The individual was employed as a summer student at the Selkirk Technology Access Center and had experience with CAD modelling and 3D printing. Paul reached out to the student and brought him the broken part, only to be told that the part was too complex to be easily designed without a great deal of time and effort. He was also told that not all 3D printing processes or materials would be suitable for building a replacement part, as many 3D printing processes are weak between the printing layers. Solution It seemed as though Paul would have to buy a new assembly after all, which would be costly and require a lot of installation work. But as luck would have it the summer student consulted with the Digital Fabrication and Design department within Selkirk College, who proposed an alternate solution. The student was able to use 3D scanning technology to create a digital CAD file of the broken part. The CAD file was then used to reverse-engineer the part to fit the original housing. The design was also improved by increasing the material thickness where original part failed. To test the design, a prototype was created with PLA plastic on a consumer-grade FDM printer. The prototype was used to test the fit and function of the part before final production. Once the prototype was tested and approved, the design was brought to Tempus 3D to be manufactured with a material robust enough to withstand abuse and prolonged exposure to the elements. The team at Tempus recommended building the final part with Nylon 12 , using HP Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) 3D printing technology. Nylon 12 is a robust production-grade plastic which is resistant to moisture, chemicals and UV light, suutabel for use in marine applications and outdoor environments. MJF technology is designed for commercial production of affordable end-use parts, and the unique printing process provides the density and strength needed for long-term use. This technology is used by major manufacturers such as Volkswagen, BMW and Ford, making it a logical choice for this application. Res ult The combination of an upgraded part design, robust material and a commercial manufacturing process resulted in a part much stronger than the original, which was made with injection-moulded plastic. Paul was able to save time and money while improving the part design and minimizing unnecessary waste.

- Tempus 3D | How does MJF compare to other 3D print technologies?
The speed of production, level of detail, affordability, and overall quality of the end product sets Multi Jet Fusion technology apart from other 3D printing processes. Learn how Multi Jet Fusion compares to Select Laster Sintering (SLS) and Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM). How does Multi Jet Fusion compare to other 3D printing technologies? There are many types of 3D printing available, but to be able to economically and reliably produce one to tens of thousands of parts in engineering grade material, powder bed technologies are the logical choice. The speed of production, level of detail, affordability, and overall quality of the end product sets this technology apart from all other 3D printing processes. Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) is most closely comparable to Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) technology. Like SLS it works by adding sequential layers of polymer powder into a build chamber, and the most common material for both is Nylon PA12. In contrast to SLS which uses a single point laser, MJF uses a combination of a fusing agent jetted onto the powder surface and a high powered heat source to selectively fuse areas of each layer together to form parts. This means that Multi Jet Fusion produces parts with similar material properties, but at a much higher volume per print. MJF and SLS have similar material properties, but Multi Jet Fusion has several distinct advantages: MJF is significantly faster than SLS. MJF is 15-30% less expensive than SLS, with greater cost advantage at higher volumes. MJF parts have superior strength and flexibility compared to SLS MJF has more homogenous mechanical properties compared to SLS, which is weaker along the print axis.
