  • Tempus 3D | Case Study - using 3D printing and scanning to repair consumer goods

    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.

  • Tempus 3D | Article - TPU, versatile 3D print material

    Explore a variety of end-use applications for TPU, a rubber-like 3D print material valued for it's flexibility, rebound and shock absorbtion. ULTRASINT TPU USE CASES A flexible, robust material designed for the real world. TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) is a versatile thermoplastic made by BASF with rubber-like properties which is ideal for the production of parts requiring shock absorption, energy return or flexibility. Parts produced with this material offer a wide range of design possibilities. Typical applications include sports protection equipment, footwear, orthopedic models, car interior components and various industrial tools like pipes and grippers. Ultrasint TPU01 is printed with HP Multi Jet Fusion technology, which combines a high level of detail, process stability and throughput to make this material ideal for applications from functional prototyping through to full production of end-use parts. Use Cases Vehicle components There is a growing demand for 3D printing in vehicle components for a variety of reasons, including lighter weight structures, increased comfort and functionality, individualization to meet specific driver requirements, and creating unique designs to stand out from the competition. TPU is especially desirable for automotive interiors, where it is used for headrests, seating, dashboards, door armrests, and mid consoles. One of the biggest benefits of TPU is the design freedom with open structures like lattices. This allows the design of components with variable levels of hardness - individual sections can be designed for a specific function, such as softer cushioning in one section and stiffer support in another. Use Case: Motorcycle seat Oechsler leveraged the benefits of additive manufacturing and TPU to design a motorbike saddle to provide a more comfortable riding experience. Ultrasint TPU01 was the material of choice because of its long-term flexibility, shock absorption, and energy return, as well as it's detail and surface quality. The saddle design is composed of multiple layers, each with different lattice structures to provide various levels of cushioning. Because of the design freedom inherent in additive manufacturing, the saddle was able to be designed and printed in one piece, which reduced the time and cost associated with production and assembly traditionally required for motorcycle seats. The saddle was also up to 25% lighter than the traditionally manufactured seat and required less material, resulting in significant savings in material costs. Photo and data courtesy of Oechsler and Forward AM Medical TPU is having an enormous impact in the production of medical devices the flexibility and shock absorption combined with the complex, light geometries provides opportunities not available with traditional manufacturing. Products like prosthetics and braces can be 3D printed and customized to the patient's needs and stand up to long-term daily use without causing skin irritation. Use Case: Prosthetic socket Christopher Hutchison, the co-founder and CEO of ProsFit, was involved in an accident that resulted in the loss of both legs. Due to the time and complexity of making prosthetics in a traditional manner which could take several weeks and multiple manufacturing steps, Chris started looking for alternative manufacturing options. According to Chris, "The traditional process for creating and fitting a leg prosthetic is long, complex, and uncomfortable for the patient". Prosfit successfully commercialized ProsFit sockets by 3D scanning a patient's limb, designing a prosthetic with Computer-aided Design (CAD) software, and 3D printing a final prosthetic. Originally the prosthetics were printed using FDM technology, but they turned to Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) technology improve quality, accuracy and end appearance. Compared to the original manufacturing process, ProsFit has reduced the time to produce a socket from weeks to days, reduced the cost of production, and allowed clinicians to fit 5 times as many patients with the same resources. The outer shell of the prosthetic is made with Nylon PA12 for it's strength and economics, and ProsFit later added an inner socket printed with Ultrasint TPU to increase the comfort for the wearer. This also accelerated the design and production process. TPU delivers outstanding vibration cushioning and maintains mechanical characteristics under repetitive load, while showing no performance or visual degradation over time. “Sockets made using HP 3D printing are flexible and strong, while at the same time more comfortable and natural to walk on.” Photo and data courtesy of HP and Forward AM Sports protection equipment TPU is an excellent choice for 3D printed sports protective equipment because it is robust enough to withstand rough use, and lattice structures can be used for interior strength, flexibility and rebound. An additional advantage is that equipment can be customized for the fit and safety requirements of the individual athlete. Common uses include helmets, guards and more. Use Case: Sports headgear Synchro Innovations used additive manufacturing to design the Kupol helmet in order to overcome the traditional limitations of conventional manufacturing. One of the main goals was to replace the use of expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam padding which repels moisture and traps heat. 3D printing technology was chosen for it's design freedom, speed of prototyping, and ability to innovate. Several different 3D printing technologies were tested in the design and prototyping process, but TPU and Polyamide (PA) printed with Multi Jet Fusion technology were selected for their speed of production, strength and affordability. The final Kupol design replaced EPS foam with an open structure inside the helmet made of TPU which allowed for customization and breathability. The shell used Polyamide to balance impact strength with thin, lightweight walls. The end product was 20% lighter than the original helmet, 3 times faster than with SLS 3D printing technology, and the cost per part was within the required production budget. Photo and data courtesy of HP Robotics TPU is used in robotics for a variety of applications that require flexible or grippy parts or shock absorption. This includes flex grippers, internal ducts, connectors, and actuators. Use Case: Cobots Cobots are collaborative robots that are designed to work alongside humans. With cobots, a critical safety requirement is to prevent injury to people if they accidentally come in contact with the machine. A common way to prevent collisions is to use optical sensors which cause the machine to slow or stop when people come within a defined zone. This results in lower productivity and higher overall cost to the company, as well as unpredictable production timing. Oechsler developed a padded layer to wrap around a cobot's joints made of TPU. The flexibility and rebound of this layer reduces the risk of injuries to people, and allows the production sped to be increased by up to 150% due to the dampening of the collision forces. The open lattice allows heat to escape and also protects the cables and wires. Because this is a material buffer the cobot requires no additional sensors. The lattice design is easily customized to different cobot types. An additional benefit is that it can be installed with no dismantling, saving time and expense. Photo and data courtesy of Oechsler and Forward AM Benefits at a Glance High elasticity, rebound and fatigue resistance Excellent surface quality and level of detail High process stability and throughput, ideal for serial production Typical Applications Sports protection equipment Footwear Orhopedic models Medical devices Car interior components Tools and grippers Flexible pipes Material Properties Hardness shore: 88A Tensile strength: 9 MPa Young's modulus: 85 MPa Elongation at break: 280% Charpy impact (notched): no break Rebound reisistance: 63% Next Steps Interested in learning more?

  • Tempus 3D | Dri Cities uses industrial 3D printing to manufacture innovative waterproofing technology

    Dri Cities was looking for a manufacturing option that could produce prototypes and low-volume production runs of their innovative waterproofing product. Tempus 3D was able to provide an affordable, high-quality product with quick turnaround and on-demand manufacturing with industry-leading HP Multi Jet Fusion 3D printing technology. CASE STUDY Dri-Cities uses industry-leading 3D printing technology to bring their innovative waterproofing solution to market. Vancouver-based Dri-Cities has been in the Canadian building maintenance industry for over 30 years, where they have been caulking high-rise buildings and warehouse tilt-ups across the country. Typical installation of caulking requires the application of masking tape to either side of the failed joint, to help aid in width control and clean up. At Dri-Cities they felt there had to be a better way, and came up with “Dual-Bead (S)” and “Dual-Bead Pro (S)”, which is a dual nozzle system for an industrial b-line caulking gun. This unique nozzle design was created to accelerate the installation of a pre-cured silicone/urethane strip product. Dri-Cities approached Tempus 3D to help provide a local, affordable solution to build functional prototypes for real-world testing, and provide on-demand manufacturing of low-volume production runs of the final product. Key benefits Custom prototyping with rapid part iteration and refinement Market validation prior to large investment On-demand manufacturing of low-volume production runs Rapid turnaround times from a local manufacturer Photo courtesy of Dri Cities Organization Dri-Cities Waterproofing Solutions Industry Industrial building maintenance Technology HP Multi Jet Fusion Materials Nylon PA12 Introduction Dri-Cities first designed their product and produced initial prototypes using 3D printing technology that is commonly found in most service bureaus, which manufactures one part at a time. The products were high quality, however the costs were prohibitively high and the economics of printing at volume didn’t make sense. Dri-Cities also looked into injection molding as a manufacturing process, but they found that the cost of having molds created for each of their products and producing low-volume initial production runs was an expensive hurdle at their stage of production, before having market traction that would attract and warrant such a high level of investment. Challenge Dri Cities recognized very early on that the cost of injection molding for their product was not a viable option. Costs of having molds produced for their product could have been more that $5,000, which was cost-prohibitive for further product development and iteration. Dri-Cities required an economical way to produce a sufficient volume to prove market demand and get distribution agreements in place. Unfortunately, traditional methods of manufacturing and low-volume 3D printing technologies just didn’t make sense. Solution Dri-cities approached Tempus 3D for a solution. Tempus was able to produce their first parts for Dri-Cites in early 2022, using HP Multi Jet Fusion 3D printing technology, which is an industry leader in manufacturing low-to-mid-volume production runs of commercial-grade plastics, at a low cost per part. Their central location in southern BC allowed Tempus to get their parts delivered to Dri-Cities within days of ordering. The prototypes and sample parts that Tempus 3D produced for Dri-Cities were used as samples for initial discussions with distribution partners across North America, and were used to supply initial inventory. Industrial 3D printing allowed dri-cities to refine their prototype in an extremely cost effective manner, and once proven they were able to go to market with an initial product without investing a substantial amount of money in inventory and while still maintaining a profit margin. Result With the benefit of having end-use parts 3D printed, Dri-Cities was able to get to market with their initial production run and secure significant market interest. This has allowed The Dri-Cities to test the market early without incurring massive research and design costs while keeping their inventory and raw materials cost near zero. They can order more product and raw materials on an as-needed basis and scale in a way that only 3D printing would allow. Dri-Cities and Tempus 3D continue to work together with the production of parts and are both heavily invested in brining manufacturing back to Canada. As Dri-Cities continues to see increasing demand for their products Tempus is there to help them scale and meet their needs. With in-house manufacturing and online quote and ordering, Tempus 3D 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 24 hours. We at Tempus feel this is just the beginning of what manufacturing will look like in the future and 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.
