Air Force Velocity needed to design and test a throttle body for a snowmobile, but aluminum casting or machining was too expensive. With the help of Tempus 3D’s 3D scanning and additive manufacturing service, Air Force was able to create a prototype that was precise and durable enough to be tested in real-world conditions. CASE STUDY Airforce Velocity Stacks uses industry 4.0 to super charge product development Airforce Velocity Stacks, located in St. Albert AB, was founded by Ryan Hodgson, motorsports enthusiast and former NHRA Funny Car World Champion. Airforce makes custom snowbike air intakes for customers across North America, and they are always pushing the performance limits to get that extra edge. Through their years of building engine combinations, they have learned how vital airflow is to making power and how critical it is for your cams’ performance. Airforce Velocity was looking for a partner that could produce parts that were precise and robust enough for real-life testing in a vehicle’s engine compartment, with rapid turnaround and a collaborative approach to product development and where part manufacturing is considered at all points of design. Key benefits Custom prototyping with rapid part iteration and refinement Market validation prior to large investment On-demand manufacturing of low-volume production runs fast turnaround times from a local manufacturer Photo courtesy of Airforce Velocity Stacks Organization Airforce Velocity Stacks Industry High Performance Recreational Sports Technology HP Multi Jet Fusion 5200 , Creaform Handyscan Laser Scanner Material Nylon PA12 Software Solid Works, Fusion, Load Simulation, Fluid Dynamics Simulation Post Processing Bead blasted and dyed black Challenge Airforce Velocity Stacks had a throttle body that they wanted to redesign to boost performance, but the cost of casting a new aluminum part for each design change was cost prohibitive and not responsive enough for rapid prototyping. Airforce needed to make a prototype that could be tested on a bike in the real world, and create a variety of iterations of and improvements to the design in a condensed time frame. Local manufacturing was also a consideration. Airforce approached Tempus 3D for a solution. Solution The team at Tempus 3D worked with their partners at the Selkirk Technology Access Centre (STAC), part of Selkirk Innovates team, to scan existing parts to create a starting point for the design changes Airforce wanted to test. Then, with the design support of Tempus 3D's design partner , industrial designer and instructor Bruce Fitz-Earle, they were able to quickly make prototypes that Tempus was able to print on their industrial 3D printer, making accurate high quality parts that Airforce was able to start testing on their snow bikes right away. These new parts resulted in a marked increase in horsepower and torque while significantly reducing overall weight. Digital scanning combined with additive manufacturing was an ideal solution for this project. 3D scanning provides a finely detailed 3D map of the original part, which in turn can be edited to fine-tune the design. Tempus 3D manufactured the prototypes with Nylon PA 12 produced with an HP Multi Jet Fusion 3D printer . Industrial nylon is ideal for creating functional prototypes because it is affordable, robust, and is resistant to moisture and chemicals. HP MJF 3D printers are designed for commercial use, producing plastic parts with the precision, density and uniformity required to stand up to long-term abuse. The accuracy and quality provided with Multi Jet Fusion 3D printing allowed for the parts to be fit onto bikes for not just dyno testing in the shop, but for actual real world testing on the track and in the mountains. Because these parts aren’t subject to extreme heat the team at Airforce was able to put them through a range of testing in a condensed time period that would not have been possible using other manufacturing techniques and materials. By being relatively low cost compared to CNC machining while maintaining comparable levels of accuracy, 3D printing is becoming the go-to solution for prototyping parts like this. Result Airforce, Tempus, and STAC continue to work together to develop a number new and innovative products using some of the most sophisticated advanced manufacturing tools. All three companies are heavily invested in keeping manufacturing in Canada by being leaders in the industry 4.0 revolution. As Airforce continues to invest in innovation Tempus 3D will be there to help them with prototyping and design, and get their products from concept to market in record time. With Tempus’ location in the interior of British Columbia it is uniquely capable of serving the Canadian market 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.

Kalesnikoff Lumber was looking for a local manufacturer to re-design and build lumber guides for their finger jointing machinery. The original machined-aluminum guides were expensive and difficult to source, so they approached Selkirk Technology Access Center (STAC) and Tempus 3D for a solution. The collaboration resulted in a more functional and affordable design, 3D printed with Nylon 12 using industrial 3D printing technology. Read the full case study to learn more. Kalesnikoff Lumber adopts industrial 3D printing to alleviate supply chain challenges, reduce down time, and improve productivity. Key benefits Production of custom parts currently unavailable elsewhere. Significantly reduced cost of manufacturing, compared to machined aluminum. Supports manufacturing in Canada and British Columbia. Supports local production of value-added forest products. Organizations Kalesnikoff Lumber , Selkirk Technology Access Center Industry Forest Products, Mass Timber, Industrial Machining Technology HP Multi Jet Fusion Materials HP Nylon PA12 Introduction Kalesnikoff Lumber is North America’s most advanced, vertically integrated, multi-species mass timber manufacturer. It is a family-owned company located between Nelson and Castlegar, BC, in the fertile West Kootenay wet-belt where they have been in business since 1939. Their products include Cross Laminated Timber, GLULAM Beams, GLT Panels, Japan Zairai, and other lumber products. To support their production they have an ongoing need for replacement parts, which have become increasingly challenging to source due to the supply chain disruptions caused by the global COVID 19 pandemic. Challenge The machined aluminum lugs used in Kalesnikoff’s finger-jointing line are expensive to produce and have become difficult to source locally. These lugs are used to hold boards in place while the joints are being milled. Because of the close proximity to the saws and the constant movement of the line these lugs wear out over time and often get struck by the saw blades as they become loose. This damage is often catastrophic to the part, and also results in damage to other elements on the production line. This damage can result in costly downtime while the parts are repaired. In search of a solution, Kalesnikoff approached the team at the Selkirk Technology Access Centre (STAC) located in Trail, BC to see if they had an option for producing these parts locally, economically, and in a way that improved reliability. Kalesnikoff has had a long working relationship with STAC and they have collaborated on numerous projects in the past. Solution The first step in coming up with a solution was to reverse-engineer the parts and produce a digital file of the parts. The team at STAC has decades of combined experience and were able to take the part from drawings to a 3D printable file in minimal time. The reverse engineering also created an opportunity to address any design flaws that had plagued the original parts, and the end design resulted in an improved part that will result in reduced downtime for the mill. Once a digital file was created, the team at STAC was able to have the part 3D printed by Tempus 3D , a 3D printing service bureau located in Trail BC. Tempus printed the part in Nylon PA-12 using HP Multi Jet Fusion 3D printing technology, which produces parts with high durability and strength along with other mechanical properties that proved ideal for this use-case. After the initial test print, Tempus was able to produce 10 sets of these lugs which should satisfy the needs of Kalesnikoff for a significant period of time. Result In collaboration with STAC and Tempus 3D, Kalesnikoff Lumber was able to reduce their supply chain risk by sourcing parts locally at a reduced cost and with improved functionality. Their collaborative approach to the problem also fosters innovation in the region and supports local business, resulting in more sustainable long-term business practices. Kalesnikoff, STAC and Tempus 3D continue to work together on a number of innovative projects and continue to support local industry through the challenges arising from the global COVID 19 pandemic and global supply chain issues. With Tempus 3D's location in the interior of British Columbia it is uniquely capable of serving both the lower mainland 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.

A business owner based in Calgary, Alberta saves thousands of dollars and weeks of time by upgrading a faulty clip for paper towel dispensers that were wearing out. With the support of Tempus 3D, the faulty parts were reverse-engineered with laser scanning and manufactured with industrial 3D printing. Read the case study to learn more. Case Study - Extending the useful life of commercial products with additive manufacturing A business owner based in Calgary, Alberta that manages a number of residential and commercial properties was experiencing a recurring problem with a fastening clip on their paper towel dispensers. This failure made the paper towel dispensers unable to be used as intended. After finding that replacement parts for the dispensers were unavailable, the business owner reached out to Tempus 3D to seek an alternative solution. The team at Tempus 3D collaborated with their manufacturing network to reverse engineer the faulty part to improve the design, then manufacture the upgraded design with industrial 3D printing technology. The ability to upgrade the existing equipment rather than replace it saved the business owner the thousands of dollars and weeks of time it would take to replace the equipment, and minimize unnecessary waste. Key Benefits Save the time and expense of replacing entire equipment assemblies when components fail. Ability to reproduce hard-to-find replacement parts. Opportunity to improve design to eliminate future failures and improve performance. Reduced environmental impact due to less waste as equipment life is extended rather than being discarded. Industry Replacement parts, Industrial goods Partners Selkirk Technology Access Centre Technology HP Multi Jet Fusion 5200 3D printer Creaform HandySCAN Software Fusion 360 Material HP Nylon PA12 Post Processing Natural finish Introduction When pieces of equipment fail it can be hard to find replacement parts. When they can be found they are often prohibitively expensive, particularly when the equipment is old or manufactured outside of Canada or the US. This was the issue faced by the owner of the commercial and residential properties when the clips were failing in the paper towel dispensers. Replacement clips were not available for purchase, so the owner had to think outside the box in order to avoid replacing hundreds of dispensers. The simplicity of the design and small size of the part made manufacturing a replacement part a logical course of action. Challenge A paper towel dispenser has a clip connected to the mechanism that opens the dispenser. This clip allows the paper towel roll to be changed when needed, but also functions as the fastener that holds the outside casing in place and prevents it from falling open on its own. The failure of these clips meant that the dispenser covers couldn’t be locked and would fall open on their own, making the dispensers unusable. Unfortunately, as these dispensers are an older design, the company that supplied them no longer manufactures replacement parts. Solution The property manager approached Tempus 3D to improve the design of the clips so prevent future failures of the part, and manufacture the final product. The team at Tempus 3D collaborated with the Selkirk Technology Access Center (STAC ) to reverse-engineer the original part to improve the design. The original was first scanned with a laser scanner to convert the original to a digital file. The file was uploaded to a Computer Automated Design (CAD) program, where it could be edited and improved. The part was modified to create a version that would be reinforced and less prone to failing. The new design would prevent excessive flex with the teeth of the clip, thus decreasing the stress on the part and extending it’s useful life. Changes like these are extremely inexpensive to make using modern CAD software and add virtually no manufacturing costs when 3D printed. However, the cost of making a simple change like this to an injection molded part is prohibitively expensive as it requires a new mold to be created or, at the very minimum, a costly and time-consuming modification of the existing mold. The very first iteration of the prototype fit and functioned as designed, allowing the team to move directly to producing the final parts. The redesigned clip was manufactured with HP Multi Jet Fusion 3D printing technology to provide the dimensional accuracy and material density required to produce a part that would fit properly and withstand long-term use. This technology is also designed to mass-produce affordable end-use parts up to 10x faster than comparable 3D printing technology, allowing the replacement parts to be shipped with minimal delay. The material selected for the part was HP Nylon PA12 , which is a robust, all-purpose material commonly used for industrial applications ranging from automotive to aerospace to consumer goods. The parts were ready to use straight out of the printer with no additional post-processing, which saved labor time and kept production costs to a minimum. Additional coloring or surface treatment could be applied if the parts were being used in a more visible location. Result The combination of an upgraded part design and industrial-grade plastic resulted in a part much stronger than the original plastic-and metal-design. Paul was able to save time and money while improving the part design and minimizing unnecessary waste.
