One of the greatest advantages of 3D printing is that it simplifies the supply chain. By localizing the supply chain, manufacturers have greater control of their production timelines and materials, and they will lower their environmental impact. Tempus 3D is proud to support manufacturers and designers with mass-produce engineering-grade plastic parts. With printing speeds up to 10x faster than comparable technologies, our Multi Jet Fusion technology is a popular choice for the transition between prototyping and mass production of end-use parts. What is a Localized Supply Chain? A localized supply chain means lowering the carbon footprint of the manufacturing process by eliminating convoluted manufacturing assembly lines and transportation of parts and materials. By localizing the Tempus 3D supply chain, we are reducing both the environmental impact and manufacturing risks associated with transportation and complex supply chains. Localizing the supply chain will also mean that by utilizing new technologies, 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. Simplifying the Supply Chain The supply chain for part production is more than just materials, it also includes labour and production tools. Traditionally when a designer chose to make changes or innovations to a part or product, it would require dramatic increases in the cost of labour and other production elements such as jigs and molds. These production tools would need to be made or re-made based on the new specs. 3D printing has eliminated these unnecessary and prohibitive costs. Using 3D printing technology designers can now efficiently make digital design changes, and with the push of a button, they can create a functional prototype without the creation of production tools. By simplifying the supply chain, not only can parts be manufactured more efficiently without material delays, but they can not be altered and updated more cost effectively and efficiently. The Advantages of Single Step Manufacturing Using 3D Printing Tempus 3D understands that when you are designing or altering a part or product, it is essential to do so as efficiently as possible. Single-step manufacturing is the solution to this challenge. This manufacturing approach 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. __________________________________________________________________________________________ Tempus3D is an HP certified 3D printing service bureau based in British Columbia, Canada, offering advanced additive manufacturing solutions tailored to your production needs.

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 approximately 10x 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. MJF can print approximately 1000 gears in 3 hours, compared to 79 gears in 3 hours with SLS or 36 gears in 3 hours with FDM 3D printing technology. __________________________________________________________________________________________ Tempus3D is an HP certified 3D printing service bureau based in British Columbia, Canada, offering advanced additive manufacturing solutions tailored to your production needs.
