Advantages of Metal 3D Printing Rapid Prototyping Metal 3D printing is well-suited for rapid prototyping, allowing engineers and designers to quickly iterate and test designs before committing to large-scale production. This can accelerate the product development cycle and reduce time-to-market. Complex Geometries Metal 3D printing produces highly complex and intricate geometries that would be challenging or impossible to achieve using traditional manufacturing methods. This is particularly beneficial in industries such as aerospace and healthcare. Tooling Cost Reduction Traditional manufacturing often requires expensive tooling for each specific part. With metal 3D printing, tooling costs can be reduced or eliminated, as the same equipment can be used for a variety of complex shapes without molds or dies. Manufacturing Metal 3D printing supports on-demand and small-batch manufacturing, making it cost-effective for producing low volumes of specialized or custom parts without the need for maintaining large inventories. Lightweight Structures Metal 3D printing enables the creation of lightweight structures with optimized designs, leading to improved performance and fuel efficiency in applications like aerospace and automotive. Repair and Maintenace Metal 3D printing can be used for efficient repair and maintenance of existing components, extending the lifespan of critical parts and reducing the need for complete replacements. Custom Designs Metal 3D printing produces custom and personalized components, as each part can be designed and printed to meet specific requirements. This is valuable in industries like healthcare, where patient-specific pieces can be created. Design Freedom Designers have greater freedom in creating innovative and optimized structures, as they are not constrained by traditional manufacturing limitations. This can result in improved functionality and efficiency. Reduced Waste Traditional manufacturing methods often involve subtractive processes, where material is cut away from a larger block to achieve the final shape. Metal 3D printing is an additive process, built layer by layer, which can significantly reduce material waste.

The automotive industry has been transformed by the opportunities provided by additive manufacturing. Now commonly used in design studios, factory assembly lines and customization, 3D printers are aiding in design and development, accelerating the assembly process, creating complex parts, enhancing measurement and testing, and providing customization solutions across the range of the development process. The Value of Additive Manufacturing in the Automotive Industry For the past decade, additive manufacturing (also known as industrial 3D printing) has played an increasingly important role in the automotive industry. It was initially used to create automotive prototypes to check their form and fit. As 3D printing technology and materials have evolved and diversified, 3D printing has moved from an optional technology limited to producing simple prototypes to an integral part of the manufacturing process, from initial conceptualization to production of final parts. The automotive industry has been transformed by the opportunities provided by additive manufacturing. Now commonly used in design studios, factory assembly lines and customization, 3D printers are aiding in design and development, accelerating the assembly process, creating complex parts, enhancing measurement and testing, and providing customization solutions across the range of the development process. The Czinger 21C hypercar showcases the future of additive manufacturing in the automotive industry. With over 350 AM components used in the vehicle's structure, suspension, brake systems, drivetrain and beyond, each component is computationally engineered and optimized for weight, efficiency and performance. To start, it is important to clarify how additive manufacturing works. In this process, a part is built layer by layer from the ground up, eventually completing the form of the finished part. This has minimal material waste as only the materials needed to build the part are used. This is in contrast to subtractive manufacturing (such as CNC machining), where a part is formed by removing material from raw stock, or injection molding, where multiple parts are cast in a mold. Traditional manufacturing methods can be limited by the speed of manufacturing, setup costs, design limitations, and/or ability to complete on-the-fly design adjustments. In contrast, the process of building in layers gives a great deal of design freedom, as intricate shapes, hollow parts, and interlined parts can be built as easily as simple shapes, and parts can be produced within hours or days, rather than weeks. BMW has been 3D printing parts for it's vehicles since 2010. Here, parts are being manufactured for the BMW i8 roadster using HP Multi Jet Fusion technology. Applications of Additive Manufacturing in the Automotive Industry Typical applications of additive manufacturing (AM) in the automotive industry include: Design and concept communication 3D printed scale models allow engineers to communicate and demonstrate design concepts for new vehicles or vehicle components. These models are also used for the aerodynamic testing of new models. For example, GM used 3D printing to build 75 percent of a C8 Corvette prototype , allowing the automaker to make changes on the fly to design parts and make sure they fit together properly. They also used 3D printing to train robots on the production line instead of having to wait for the final parts to be built. 3D printed Chevrolet C8 Corvette Prototype Rapid prototyping and design validation In the ongoing race to be the first and best, auto manufacturers continually engage in research and development to create better products and get them to market faster than their competitors. AM makes this process quicker and more affordable, with its ability to quickly create working prototypes in just a few hours, instead of typical turnarounds of several days or more. This can help product designers test and iterate more frequently and cost-effectively, ultimately leading to better end products. Using AM is now one of the most common ways to validate a prototype, whether it’s a small quickly printed detail or a full-scale functional part for performance validation and testing. Skorpion Engineering uses a structural welding technique to produce large parts with HP Multi Jet Fusion technology. Design optimization and weight reduction Automotive manufacturers work to improve the design of components in order to minimize weight, reduce manufacturing steps, or improve the overall design. The additive manufacturing process allows weight-reducing strategies such as using lighter materials or eliminating non-structural material or integrating multiple parts into one. For example, engineers at GM and Autodesk used generative design to consolidate an 8-component seat bracket assembly into a single piece. This 3D printed seat bracket is 40% lighter and 20% stronger than the original part. Seat bracket re-engineered by GM for weight reduction and streamlined manufacturing. Jigs, fixtures and tooling In the production stage, additive manufacturing is used to rapidly manufacture grips, jigs and fixtures, as well as make molds for parts. This allows manufacturers to streamline the assembly process and produce customized tools at a low cost. For example, Ford uses 3D printing for jigs and fixtures to streamline the assembly of their vehicles, and BMW has replaced aluminum fixtures with 3D printed thermoplastic fixtures. Production parts An increasing number of manufacturers are producing end-use parts with additive manufacturing. This manfuacturing process offers greater freedom of design and ability to innovate without sacrificing strength or structural integrity when compared to traditional manufacturing. An added benefit is that the same technology can be used for concept models, functional prototypes and end-use parts, providing a streamlined transition from initial concept through mass production. Bugati’s eight-piston monoblock brake caliper is the world’s first brake caliper to be produced by a 3D printer. Customized parts Customization is an increasingly popular trend in the automotive industry, mainly due to the advancements in 3D printing technology and materials. Additive manufacturing makes it easy and cost-effective to create unique items or low-volume production runs of custom parts, in a way not previously possible. Some manufacturers customize vehicles to suit a particular customer, others to improve the performance or appearance of specific vehicles. A fun example is Volkswagen, who used their VW Type 20 concept van to showcase some of their most cutting-edge technologies and ability for mass customization of vehicle components. Replacement parts With traditional manufacturing methods, it is usually more cost-effective to manufacture large quantities at one time than to produce parts as needed. This results in consuming storage space to stockpile parts, or throwing away extra or obsolete parts that were overproduced. 3D printing has the same low cost per part, whether they are produced individually or mass-produced. This allows on-demand manufacturing, where parts are produced as needed. With the use of CAD, designs for all parts can be kept as a digital copy, making the need to keep inventory obsolete. Even parts that no longer exist can potentially be remade to requirement, or reverse engineered based on digital scans of existing parts. Porsche has dedicated a branch, called Porsche Classic, to keep their vintage lines alive. They use 3D printing to produce plastic and metal replacement parts as needed. Benefits of Additive Manufacturing in the Automotive Industry There are a variety of ways the automotive industry benefits from additive manufacturing. These include: Reduced production time Because there is minimal setup and no tooling required, additive manufacturing provides a much faster turnaround time for prototypes and short-run production than traditional manufacturing. Additional time is saved if multiple parts can be integrated into one design, which eliminates the time and cost of assembly. Because functional parts can be manufactured in days rather than weeks, the prototyping process can be completed efficiently and products taken to market faster and more affordably than previously possible. Less wasted material Generally, additive manufacturing produces far less wasted material than traditional manufacturing because the parts are built layer-by-layer, rather than removing unnecessary material from a solid piece or creating unique molds for each part design. The ability to produce parts on demand also reduces the need to dispose of unused product if it is unused or becomes obsolete. Supply chain optimization The ongoing supply chain issues are accelerating the trend of localized manufacturing. Automotive manufacturers are eliminating delays due to materials shortages and shipping delays by manufacturing parts on-site or outsourcing to local 3D printing service bureaus. This has the added benefit of supporting the local economy and saving shipping costs, which have up to 200+% over the past year alone. Reduced energy consumption Additive manufacturing is far less energy-intensive than traditional manufacturing processes. An additional benefit is lower fuel consumption and pollution due to minimized shipping of raw materials and final product, as parts are manufactured closer to home. Reduced inventory As additive manufacturing is used to create replacement parts and tooling, facilities require less inventory space to store the extra parts. This can reduce overhead and save space. Cost savings All of the above factors can result in cost benefits and reductions, especially over time and when compared to traditional manufacturing, yielding a positive return on investment.

IBC Technologies saved time and money when designing a jig for their manufacturing process by leveraging industrial 3D printing with a local additive manufacturing company. CASE STUDY IBC Technologies enables innovation in collaboration with BC 3D Printing Service Bureau IBC Technologies is a company based in Vancouver, BC which designs and manufactures heating equipment for residential and commercial use. IBC was developing a jig to accelerate the assembly of fan components, and was looking for a local manufacturer which could offer a quick, low-cost solution to support them with rapid prototyping and eventual manufacturing of their jig assembly. IBC approached Tempus 3D to help them with the manufacturing process. Key benefits Rapid prototyping to test multiple iterations of the jig being developed. Production of custom jigs to support manufacturing. Reduced cost of design changes compared to machining parts. Local manufacturing, minimizing lead times and environmental costs. Photo courtesy of IBC Technologies Organization IBC Technologies Industry Hydronic Heating, Industrial Goods, Research and Development Technology HP Multi Jet Fusion 5200 Materials Nylon PA12 Introduction IBC Technologies was founded more than 25 years ago with the express purpose of improving the world of hydronic heating. IBC currently serves the entire North American market and continues to produce innovative products out of their Vancouver, BC location. IBC has embraced industrial 3D printing as a key tool for not just rapid prototyping, but also production runs of low volume parts and the integration of 3D printing in their manufacturing process through the design and implementation of 3D printed jigs and fixtures. Challenge IBC was designing a jig to speed up the assembly of multiple fan components. Jigs and fixtures present unique manufacturing challenges as they can be expensive, time-consuming and wasteful to machine using traditional manufacturing methods, especially when the design is being tested and improved with multiple iterations. IBC was in search of a close-to-home solution that would de-risk their production and enable them to quickly build, test and re-design their prototype before manufacturing their final design. Solution 3D printing was an ideal solution for this project and has been a game changer for the production of jigs and fixtures. By being relatively low cost compared to CNC machining while maintaining comparable levels of accuracy, 3D printing is becoming the go to solution for smaller jigs and fixtures. IBC was looking for a local company that was able to provide 3D printing services with industrial-grade materials with low cost and high accuracy. After researching their options, they approached Tempus 3D for a solution. Tempus produced their first parts for IBC Technologies in the summer of 2021 and has been working with them on a regular basis on a number of projects since then. Result IBC tested several iterations of their jig, with the advice and support of the Tempus technical team to optimize their design for 3D printing processes. Tempus was able to 3D print the desired fixture with a quick turnaround time and within tolerance, enabling IBC to speed up production and reduce costs associated with their fan assembly process. IBC and Tempus continue to work together with the production of additional jigs and fixtures and are both heavily invested in bringing manufacturing back to Canada and British Columbia. As IBC continues to invest in innovation Tempus is there to help them iterate quickly 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 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, customized, and local allowing innovators across sectors to bring products to market quicker and in a more environmentally friendly way.

The Haf-Clip was able to get their recreational sports product to market in record time using industrial 3D printing technology. Learn how Tempus 3D was able to support them in reaching their manufacturing goals with HP Multi Jet Fusion 3D printing. CASE STUDY The Haf-Clip gets their product to market in record time in collaboration with Canadian 3D printing service bureau. The Haf-Clip is a Vancouver, British Columbia (BC) based business that creates consumer products for the recreational sports industry, with a focus on mountain biking. Their current flagship product is a multi-purpose plastic clip that allows the user to strap their helmet and other items to the bike while riding. In 2021 The Haf-Clip approached Tempus 3D to help them bring their product to reality. They were particularly interested in keeping the design, testing, and manufacturing in Canada. 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 Photo courtesy of The Haf-Clip Organization The Haf-Clip Industry Recreational sports, Consumer Products Technology HP Multi Jet Fusion Materials HP PA12 Challenge The Haf-Clip was looking for a partner to bring their product idea to reality and was particularly interested in keeping the design, testing, and manufacturing in Canada. Due to the relatively low volume of initial production, most traditional methods of manufacturing products were not viable options. In particular, The Haf-Clip needed to create multiple prototypes of their product to ensure it functioned as expected, then prepare an initial batch of 250 pieces to test the market and ensure there was sufficient demand prior to investing in a full market launch. The Haf-Clip researched options for bringing their product to market, including injection molding and 3D printing. They recognized very early on that using injection molding for producing prototypes and low-volume manufacturing was not a viable option. The cost of having molds produced for their product could have been more that $5,000 per mold, which was too expensive for further product development and design iteration. The Haf-Clip needed a manufacturing solution that was able to quickly produce functional prototypes to test their design, then manufacture low-volume production runs of low-cost end-use parts as needed so they could get their product to market with minimal initial investment and maintain the ability to revise their design if necessary. Solution In 2021 The Haf-Clip approached Tempus 3D through an introduction from an existing Tempus customer. After an initial consultation to determine the most appropriate material and 3D printing technology, Tempus produced their first functional prototypes using their in-house HP Multi Jet Fusion 5200 printer. This technology was recommended because it is capable of producing cost-effective prototypes and full production runs of high-quality parts, at the same low cost per part with accuracy and aesthetics comparable to or better than injection molding. Tempus produced their first prototype for The Haf-Clip in the winter of 2021, and The Haf-Clip was able to test the prototype and receive their first production run within weeks of the initial order. Result With the ability to go straight from prototype to production with no changes to the manufacturing process, The Haf-Clip was able to complete product testing and use their prototypes and secure significant market interest with minimal delay. This has allowed The Haf-Clip to test the market early without incurring massive research and design costs while keeping their inventory and raw materials cost near zero. They can revise the design or order more product on an as-needed basis and scale in a way that only 3D printing would allow. The Haf-Clip and Tempus continue to work together with the production of parts and are both heavily invested in bringing manufacturing back to Canada. As The Haf Clip continues to see increasing demand for their products Tempus is there to help them scale and meet their needs. With instant online ordering, overnight shipping and the ability to turn around rush orders in as little as 24 hours, Tempus 3D can ensure that The Haf-Clip can easily fulfill any customer order, no matter what the size, while maintaining minimal inventory and ensuring the same low cost per part. The Future 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.

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.
