A First Nations group wanted to create a copper replica of a sacred Eagle skull and approached Tempus 3D for a solution. The team at Tempus collaborated with a network of professionals with advanced digital manufacturing capability to find a solution and produce a beautiful result. CASE STUDY Copper-plated eagle skull highlights the potential of digital manufacturing to make the impossible possible. A First Nations group wanted to create a copper replica of a sacred Eagle skull and approached Tempus 3D for a solution. The team at Tempus collaborated with a network of professionals with advanced digial manufacturing capability to find a solution and produce a beautiful result. Key benefits Rapid part iteration and refinement Market validation prior to large investment Local manufacturing fast turnaround of prototypes and production parts Environmentally friendly and sustainable production On-demand manufacturing Organizations Tempus 3D Ltd. , Selkirk Technology Access Centre , Repliform Inc. Industry Art, sculptures Technology HP Multi Jet Fusion 5200 3D printer, Creaform 3D scanner Materials Nylon PA12 Challenge The team at Tempus 3D was approached by a First Nations group from British Columbia to assist in creating a copper replica of an Eagle Skull. The skull was extremely delicate and fragile and they wanted to produce a piece that was more durable and had an aged copper look to it. Solution The first challenge was to create an accurate replica of the skull that preserved the fine level of detail and delicate structures. When the project was first brought to Tempus we considered a number of options to recreate it, including having a CT scan of the object by a local veterinary clinic. Ultimately, we decided to try 3D scanning the skull with the help of the Selkirk Technology Access Centre (STAC) in Trail BC. The team at STAC has years of scanning experience, so they were able to reproduce the piece exactly with advanced digital scanning technology and also adjust the digital file to repair some damage the skull had suffered over the years. With a solid model now in hand we test printed several of the eagle skulls on our HP MJF 5200 3D printer with a variety of print orientations and settings. We were able to get an amazingly high-quality print and could validate the feasibility of accurately reproducing the original skull. The material of choice was nylon PA12, which has the density and durability to reproduce the fine structures while maintaining structural integrity. Result The team at Tempus 3D, in collaboration and consultation with our customer, our partners at STAC, and our partners at Repliform, was able to deliver a product that is durable, repeatable, and most importantly beautiful for our customer. This was truly an amazing project to work on. With Tempus’ location in the interior of British Columbia it is uniquely capable of serving the British Columbia and Alberta markets with cost-effective overnight shipping and the ability to turn around rush orders in as little as 36 hours. We at Tempus feel this is just the beginning of what manufacturing will look like in the future; it will be more responsive, more custom, and more local allowing innovators across sectors to bring products to market quicker and in a more environmentally friendly way. At Tempus, we are MAKING IT POSSIBLE. Learn more about Tempus 3D's products and services Explore more case studies and articles About HP Multi Jet Fusion 3D printing technology The next challenge was to produce the requested copper finish. We originally looked at 3D printing the part with a metal 3D printer, but 3D printed metal was prohibitively expensive and we had serious concerns about how the extremely thin walls of the replica skull would turn out in the metal printing options that were available. Ultimately, the team at Tempus reached out to our friends at Repliform, which specializes in electroplating 3D printed plastics and other non-conductive materials. We had worked on a project with Repliform in the past and they felt strongly that they could help us in turning the skull into the piece that we had envisioned. Repliform was able to take the 3D printed pieces and turn out a beautiful aged-copper finish that preserved the fine details and highlighted the beauty of the original form. The beautiful end result highlights what can be accomplished with collaboration between results-oriented professionals and leveraging the latest digital manufacturing technology.

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 - RV Part Replacement RV owner re-designs and replaces a hard-to-find part for their recreational vehicle with additive manufacturing Key benefits Ability to recreate parts that are no longer available due to age or supply chain contr aints. Use CAD software to improve part design and address key failure points of existing parts. Industry Automotive, replacement parts Partners Selkirk Technology Access Centre Technology HP Multi Jet Fusion 5200 3D printer Material HP Nylon PA12 Software Fusion 360 Post Processing Bead blasting, paint Introduction An RV owner had a broken exterior door handle for their RV which had become brittle over time due to exposure to the elements and extended use, and they were unable to find a replacement. They also wanted to upgrade the design to strengthen the areas that had failed. They approached Tempus 3D for a solution. Challenge The challenge with this project was to replicate the original part, then upgrade the design to address the key failure points while ensuring that the end product was robust enough for long-term use and aesthetically appealing. It was also important to ensure that the re-design and manufacturing process was an economically viable option for the use case. Solution The first step in this project was to determine the best approach for re-designing the part. The two choices were to re-design it from scratch in Fusion 360, or to have the old part 3D scanned and create a new model using the scan data. In this instance, due to the relatively simple geometric design of the part, we opted to re-design the part from scratch. This ensured any warp in the original part was not replicated, and also allowed for easier re-design to reinforce the weak points of the original part. Once the initial design was completed it was reviewed with the customer in order to confirm the structural improvements met their requirements and discuss any aesthetic changes that may be desirable. Once the final design was approved, the part was ready to manufacture. An HP Multi Jet Fusion 3D printer was selected for the manufacturing process for it's speed, precision, and overall print quality. This technology also has a large enough print capacity to create the part, which is approximately 30 cm (1 ft) long. One challenge with 3D printing a long thin part is the potential for the part to warp as it cools. With some sound advise from HP on part orientation and print settings along with the support of Hawkridge Systems we were able to eliminate any warp in the part. Nylon PA 12 was selected as the material because it is robust enough to stand up to long-term wear-and-tear, and it is also resistant to water and UV damage. Nylon is also painatable, allowing the customer to paint the handle shite to match the original part. Cerakote was also an option for a long-lasting, high-quality finish. The customer also had a small spare part that he wanted to get copies of, which Tempus included as part of the package. Result The team at Tempus 3D collaborated with the customer to produce a part that exceeded their expectations in terms of finish, colour, accuracy, and cost. If you an RV owner and have been having difficulty finding parts like this for your rig, maybe 3D printing is the solution for you.

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.

Learn why 3D printing in the manufacturing and design industry has seen an exceptional level of growth over the past several years, and how Tempus 3D can help join this manufacturing revolution. Benefits of Industrial 3D Printing with Tempus 3D 3D Printing for Manufacturing and Design The use of 3D printing in the manufacturing and design industry has seen an exceptional level of growth over the past several years. This is because of the rapid advancements in 3D printing processes and materials, resulting in the ability to cost-effectively manufacture end-use parts that meet or exceed the quality of parts produced by other manufacturing methods. 3D printing simplifies manufacturing services, allowing for a simple three step approach; design, print, install. In contrast, traditional manufacturing process, such as injection molding or CNC machining, require multiple steps to create a product or part, and are limited in their ability to manufacture parts with complex geometries. Because of these limitations traditional manufacturing processes can be costly, inefficient, and time-consuming, especially for prototyping or short-run manufacturing. The use of industrial 3D printing (also known as additive manufacturing) has proven to be an excellent complement to traditional manufacturing, with unique benefits and cost savings being realized by an increasing number of designers and manufacturers in Canada and across the world. The additive manufacturing process of 3D printing allows designers the ability to efficiently deliver an accurate and effective product using a sustainable process that mitigates risks, allows for creativity and freedom in design, and provides an opportunity for truly customizable product manufacturing. While industrial 3D printing services in Canada are still a small sector of the market, it is becoming increasingly accessible and has proven itself as a viable and effective manufacturing approach. Tempus 3D helps fill the manufacturing gap in Canada with advanced 3D printing technology specifically designed for small-to-medium run manufacturing of end-use parts. Our specialty is HP Multi Jet Fusion 3D printing which is specifically designed to manufacture affordable, high quality end-use plastic parts. Keep reading to learn more about how Tempus 3D can support your next affordable, custom 3D manufacturing design project for high-performance plastic parts, using industry-leading 3D print technology such as HP Multi Jet Fusion. 3D Printing Compared to Traditional Manufacturing Additive manufacturing has many advantages over traditional manufacturing methods, such as injection molding or subtractive manufacturing (such as CNC machining). Both of these manufacturing techniques include numerous steps and can limit the designer or manufacturer in terms of time, speed of manufacturing, design freedom, and/or cost. 3D printing eliminates these steps, leaving only design, printing, post-processing (if needed), and installing. The additive manufacturing process using 3D printing builds a product one layer at a time. This process typically fast, with low fixed setup costs, and can create more complex geometries than ‘traditional’ technologies, with an ever-expanding list of materials. It is used extensively in the engineering industry, particularly for prototyping and creating lightweight geometries. Injection molding has specific advantages and disadvantages compared to 3D printing, and manufacturers may choose one over the other depending on their needs. Injection moulding uses a mold that is filled with molten material that cools and hardens to produce parts and components. The initial mold is expensive to produce, and once the mold is made the design can not be changed. The requirement to be able to remove the part from the mold also means that the level of complexity is limited, often requiring multiple parts to be manufactured then assembled in a separate process. Compared to injection molding, 3D printing is best suited for quick turnaround times (1-2 weeks), low-to-mid-volume production runs (1000+ parts), designs with frequent changes, and complex part designs. They key difference between 3D printing and CNC machining is that 3D printing is a form of additive manufacturing, while CNC machining is subtractive. This means CNC machining starts with a block of material (called a blank), and cuts away material to create the finished part. To do this, cutters and spinning tools are used to shape the piece. CNC machining is popular for manufacturing small one-off jobs. It offers excellent repeatability, high accuracy and a wide range of materials and surface finishes. 3D printing is preferable in a number of circumstances, for example to manufacture highly complex parts, when fast turn-around times are needed, for low-volume production of end-use parts, and for materials which can not be easily machined, such as flexible TPU. The latest advancements in 3D printing technology have made additive manufacturing a viable alternative to traditional manufacturing methods, with significant advantages for many manufacturing applications in terms of speed of production, cost of manufacturing, ability to do rapid design changes, and freedom of design and innovation. For many years 3D printing has been considered an option best suited for prototype development, but not viable for large scale production, but as technology evolves the capability of 3D printing is continually expanding, positioning 3D printing as an innovative solution for functional prototyping and low-to-mid volume manufacturing of end-use plastic parts. Single Step Manufacturing Using 3D Printing When designing a product or a part, one of the biggest concerns for a designer is how to manufacture a part as efficiently as possible. Most parts require a large number of manufacturing steps to be produce by traditional technologies. Single-step manufacturing is important because it means a producer can eliminate the time consuming and expensive multistep processes used in traditional manufacturing. By using a single step additive manufacturing approach, the ability to create a prototype is drastically simplified, minimizing the investment, time, and risk required to prove a concept, part, or product. The single step manufacturing capability will also eliminate the costs associated with various trades required in traditional manufacturing and post-manufacturing assembly. Tempus 3D provides an alternative to traditional manufacturing by providing 3D printing technology that is specifically designed for the production environment. Our HP Multi Jet Fusion 3D printer uses powder-bed fusion technology to mass-produce affordable, high quality plastic parts comparable to injection molding, up to 10x faster than alternative 3D printing technologies.

This industry leading 3D printer allows Tempus 3D to produce custom parts, prototypes, and industrial-grade and end-use plastic components quickly and affordably. Developed by our partners at Hewlett Packard , the multi jet fusion printer uses powder-bed fusion 3D printing technology. This process uses an inkjet array to selectively apply fusing and detailing agents across a bed of nylon powder, which are then fused by heating elements into a solid layer. After each layer, powder is distributed on top of the bed and the process repeats until the parts are complete. This process efficiently produces functional parts with accurate and complex details, which can be used straight out of the printer or post-processed to improve appearance or functional qualities. HP Multi Jet Fusion has gained rapid traction and popularity in the manufacturing sector because it’s unique printing processes offer a combination of better quality, increased productivity, and economic advantages. 10 times faster: MJF technology prints entire surface areas, rather than one point at a time as with comparable technologies such as SLS or FDM . This means that it prints up to 10x faster than these technologies, making it a viable solution for low-to-mid-volume production of end-use parts. New Levels of Quality, Strength and Durability: Multi Jet Fusion allows for the printing of parts in ultra-thin layers (80 microns). This results in parts with low porosity, high density and, particularly, high resolution and dimensional accuracy. This also creates parts with excellent material properties including chemical resistance, water-and air-tightness, UV resistance, and biocompatibility. Break-through Economics: HP MJF technology unifies and integrates various steps of the 3D print process to reduce running time, cost, and waste to significantly improve 3D printing economics. One printer is capable of producing over 160,000 cubic cm per day for production environments. As with all 3D printing technologies, there is a set of recommendations to follow when designing for HP Multi Jet Fusion technology to ensure parts and features are printed to specification, as well as to leverage the full potential of the advanced printing processes. Reducing Manufacturing Risk with 3D Printing Part or product manufacturing has historically required a coordinated effort between multiple specialists to ensure that a product is accurately completed. With 3D printing we can eliminate the risks associated with hiring and managing numerous personnel and subject matter experts to design and create a single part. More than that, Tempus 3D can help you to build a proof of concept without the costs and time associated with creating molds and jigs. Our Canadian 3D printing services allow for freedom in design, by permitting designers to print a single prototype at a low cost without substantial overhead and time invested. Creating custom solutions is more practical than ever without having to recreate production tools. Additionally, using jet fusion 3D printing technology, Tempus 3D can ensure your prototype or product is particularly accurate, no matter the complexity of the product. There are numerous case studies that show the diverse benefits of using 3D printing from the prototyping-through-manufacturing process. The Environmental Benefits of 3D Printing As a 3D print company collaborating with other manufacturers in Canada and beyond, we have an important opportunity and responsibility towards the environment around us, as well as to the greater community we live in and collaborate with. We're helping move towards a sustainable future with our environmental policies and commitment to long-term sustainability. Tempus 3D is committed to protecting the environment by developing and implementing sustainable manufacturing approaches. Using jet fusion 3D printing, Tempus 3D is proud to provide our customers with a manufacturing approach that reduces waste, lowers carbon emissions and footprint, and that supports a circular economy. 3D printing reduces manufacturing waste through a paradigm shifting additive manufacturing approach. In contrast to the traditional subtractive manufacturing approach, this means that while the traditional approach to manufacturing requires beginning with a large piece of material and cutting away materials until you have your desired outcome, 3D printing starts with nothing and adds to the part layer by layer. This new approach results in far less waste reduce environmental impacts and as a bonus, saves money. Tempus 3D is pleased to help our customers lower their carbon footprint by eliminating convoluted manufacturing assembly lines and supply chains. By localizing our supply chain, we are reducing both the environmental impact and manufacturing risks associated with transportation and complex supply chains. Finally, Tempus 3D is hopeful that new technology will mean consumers will one day be able to print their parts, fix their products, and create longevity in products. 3D printing has the potential to dramatically decrease the number of products ending up in landfills. At Tempus, we take sustainability even further by investing in equipment that has minimal material waste even compared to other 3D printing technologies, such as the HP Multi Jet Fusion 5200 which has industry-leading material re-usability and have operator training and quality control processes that minimize the chance of parts rejected due to being out of specification. Design Freedom Using 3D Printing 3D printing frees designers and innovators from the realities and challenges of traditional manufacturing. In the past when a designer was making changes or innovations to a part or product, it would require high material and labour costs as jigs and moulds needed to be made or re-made based on the new specs. With 3D printing designers can efficiently make digital design changes, and with the push of a button, they can create a functional prototype without the creation of production tools. This freedom means that designers and innovators no longer must live in fear of the substantial start-up costs traditionally associated with manufacturing. No longer are designers held hostage by the necessity of welders or machinists to show proof of a concept. The advantages of 3D printing are visible in the early stages of development and custom products, including the ability to rapidly test and re-design prototypes, shorten the time to market for a new product, and save on material and labor costs. The subtractive manufacturing process places restrictions on designers and requires draft angles, undercuts, and tool accesses. With 3D printing, because a product is developed one layer at a time, these restrictions no longer apply. This means that designers can develop substantially more complex parts, without facing the costs and intricacies required through traditional manufacturing. Finally, 3D printing is the perfect fit for custom design and production. The current approach to additive design builds parts one at a time, meaning every part can be custom designed. The 3D printing approach provides designers with the freedom to design and produce single run products, that may otherwise be unfeasible because of the costs associated with manufacturing tools and labour. Applications for 3D Printing 3D printing has been welcomed across sectors including, automotive, aviation, industrial goods, consumer products, healthcare, and education. The automotive industry has embraced 3D printing for part production, jig-production, and spare parts and tools. In the product development phase, designers are able to cost-effectively go through several iterations before deciding on the final product and manufacture functional prototypes to test in real-world situations. Additionally, an increasing number of OEM’s have been using 3D printing to develop end-use parts in order to increase the performance of the parts, reduce part weight, create more complex part designs, and consolidate multiple parts into a single design. With 3D printing also allows manufacturers to personalize cars to meet customer requirements, or replace parts in older vehicles for which parts are no longer available. The aviation industry has seen significant cost savings with the adoption of additive manufacturing. By using 3D printing, they can create complex parts with a single design and 3D printing process. By saving materials through design and engineering, you can successfully produce lightweight structures with 40-60 % less weight. Additive manufacturing guarantees maximum flexibility in production planning. Modified components, upgrades and spare parts can be produced on demand, meaning that storage is not necessary. The industrial goods sector is increasingly turning to 3D printing to stay agile, responsive, and innovative. With increasing production costs and the digitisation of manufacturing, industrial OEMs must constantly evolve to maintain operational agility and keep costs down. With 3D printing, design changes that would have taken months using conventional manufacturing methods can be implemented much faster, oftentimes in under a week. Manufacturers can also reduce the time needed to produce parts, bypassing a time-consuming and costly tooling and assembly steps. Another advantage is that since 3D printing can produce physical parts from digital files in a matter of hours, companies can manufacturing parts on demand and eliminate the need to warehouse pre-manufactured parts. Consumer products that many use every day are already utilizing 3D printing technology. From sneakers to eyewear and jewelry, 3D printing is quickly shifting the traditional manufacturing approach for consumer goods. Additive manufacturing provides a cost-effective product development, testing and production. For example, during the product development stage 3D printing is used to develop and test multiple iterations and perform repetitive testing in a much shorter time frame. The ability to accelerate product development times also shortens the time-to-market for new products. Perhaps the biggest impact of 3D printing for consumer goods lies in the potential of creating personalised products, tailored to the requirements of consumers. The healthcare industry is one of the fastest growing adopters of additive manufacturing. the adaptability of 3D printing makes it a logical choice. For example, medical device manufacturers have greater freedom in designing new products and can bring their products to market much faster. Patient specific devices such as prosthetics and orthotics can be quickly and affordably produced using a 3D scan of the patient’s body to create a digital template customized to the patient. Dental labs can use scans of the patient’s teeth to create dental products that perfectly match the patient’s anatomy. 3D printing is increasingly being integrated into education. Many elementary schools in Canada have incorporated 3D printing into their technology curriculum. Colleges and universities are integrating additive manufacturing and design into their curriculum to prepare students for a trades and technology sector that is experiencing rapid growth and demand.
