  • Tempus 3D | Ledcor ball valve case study - 3D printing to resolve supply chain and part failure issues

    Ledcor was facing a 6-month delay when sourcing a ball valve needed to apply calcium chloride to road surfaces, and approached Tempus 3D for a solution. Their requirements included an upgrade to improve the performance of the part and a quick delivery time. Tempus 3D collaborated with their design and development network and delivered a functioning solution, on-time and on-spec. Ledcor Ball Valve Project Ledcor teams up with Tempus 3D printing to alleviate supply chain issues, improve part design and minimize manufacturing time. Ledcor is an integrated construction company with operations across North America. As part of their regular operations they treat roads with calcium chloride for dust control and various other purposes. This process involves the use of ball valves to control the flow of the solution. A number of their valves were damaged beyond repair and needed to be replaced. After making exhaustive attempts to source new valves through their traditional suppliers they were faced with a six month or greater lead-time for delivery. This put their operations in an untenable situation of potentially being shut down for a significant period of time due to a relatively inexpensive part. Ledcor approached Tempus 3D for a local manufacturing solution. Their requirements included upgrades to the performance of the part and a tight timeline for delivery. Key benefits Rapid manufacturing of end-use parts Improve part functionality in relation to the original injection-molded part Bypass supply chain restrictions with local manufacturing Minimize down time with local manufacturing Organization Ledcor Group Industry Diversified Construction and Industrial Services Hardware HP Multi Jet Fusion 5200 3D Printer Technology Creaform Handyscan Material HP Nylon PA12 Software Solidworks, Fusion 360 Post Processing Bead blasted, dyed black, AMT Post Pro Vapor Smoothing Challenge Ledcor had two main deliverables for this project; to improve the design of the original ball valve to address historical weak points, and to deliver the final product as soon as possible. Ledcor wanted to have the part re-designed because of flaws that were causing damage to, and critical failure of, the original part. The main weak point in the original valve was the seam where the two injection molded parts were joined together. This seam was prone to holding water and then freezing during the cold Canadian winters, which resulted in the parts cracking and no longer holding a seal. The second major concern was to have the final part manufactured as quickly as possible, in order to minimize downtime of the affected vehicles. 3D printing was the manufacturing method of choice because of it's speed of manufactuing and low cost compared to injection molding or machining from metal. an added advantage is the ability to produce low-cost replacement parts within days of ordering. Solution The first step in re-designing the valve was to use the original valve as a template to upgrade the design to the Ledcor’s specifications. Tempus 3D collaborated with the Selkirk Innovates team at the Selkirk Technology Access Centre to reverse-engineer the internal mechanical parts and to design the exterior casing. A Creaform HandySCAN 3D scanner was used to image the original parts to ensure a proper fit was obtained. Parts were rendered in a 3D digital file using Fusion 360 design software, which was used to re-design the part to Ledcor's specifications. An initial prototype proof-of-concept was then 3D printed to ensure the design was complete and confirm fit and function. After the initial prototype was tested some minor enhancements were made to reduce complexity and strengthen the part. The final design was 3D printed by Tempus 3D using the HP Multi Jet Fusion 5200 3D printer for it’s dimensional accuracy and quality. Nylon PA12 was selected as the material for its overall durability and resistance to water, chemicals and UV rays. The final part was sent to Cody Laursen and his team at Streamline for vapor smoothing using AMT Post Pro vapour smoothing technology. This process improves the overall material qualities of the part, including water- and chemical-resistance. The critical surfaces of the valve casings were machined to ensure an exact fit of the functional pieces, then the ball valve was assembled. The valves were tested both at room temperature as well as at freezing to ensure proper functionality. Once testing was complete the parts were shipped to Ledcor to be put through their paces in the real world. Result This whole process was completed in less than four weeks, and future parts can be delivered in less than two weeks. The overall cost to Ledcor was very affordable in relation to the cost of downtime, and was even comparable to purchasing from their original supplier. Conclusion Ledcor and Tempus continue to look for ways to integrate 3D printing into their operations to reduce their supply chain risk and improve part functionality and quality. With Tempus’ location in central British Columbia it is uniquely capable of serving markets across Canada 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.

  • Tempus 3D | Spark Laser Reduces Cost and Time to Market with 3D Printing

    Learn how Tempus 3D was able to help Spark Laser save money, reduce time to market and improve their product design for their laser cutting equipment using HP Multi Jet Fusion 3D printing technology. Case Study Spark Laser reduces time to market and development costs with industrial 3D printing. Spark Laser is a company based in Vancouver, BC that specializes in the design and manufacturing of commercial laser cutting machines. Spark Laser was looking for a local manufacturer that was able to rapidly produce low-volume production runs of prototypes and end-use plastic parts that were robust enough for an industrial environment, and affordable enough to keep their production costs down. With approximately 40 unique parts to manufacture, traditional methods like Injection molding would costs thousands of dollars and months to produce, without the flexibility to do on-the-fly design modifications. Spark Laser approached Tempus 3D to find a solution. With HP Multi Jet Fusion 3D printing technology, Tempus 3D was able to provide high-quality, robust plastic parts at a fraction of the cost of injection molding, with the ability to revise the design as needed and have their parts produced within days of ordering. This allowed Spark Laser to get their product to market faster and more affordably while maintaining the design freedom they need as they continue to innovate. Key benefits Able to get their product to market quickly and affordably Save thousands of dollars on production costs, compared to injection molding. High-quality plastic parts produced in days, not weeks or months. Prototype and manufacture consumer-ready end-use parts with the same CAD files and 3D printing technology. Photo courtesy of Spark Laser Organization Spark Laser Industry Manufacturing Technology HP Multi Jet Fusion Materials Nylon PA12 Introduction Spark Laser is a Vancouver, British Columbia (BC) based manufacturer of commercial and industrial lasers. They are building desktop lasers for customers across Canada and the United States. Their lasers are designed specifically to address a gap in the laser market by providing a high quality and cost-effective solution for customers not wanting to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on industrial-sized products. The founder of Spark Laser, Yousef Javaher, was looking to manufacture these lasers in Canada. A mutual business connection introduced him to Tempus 3D , a Canadian 3D printing Service Bureau specializing in manufacturing industrial plastics. Challenge Spark laser was needing approximately 40 internal parts for the lasers and needed to be able to iterate the design quickly and cost-effectively to come up with an optimal product ideally suited to their target market. These parts needed to be robust enough to withstand long-term use in an industrial environment, and they needed to be able to manufacture the parts or revise the design with minimal cost and lag time. Due to the relatively low volume of initial production, most traditional methods of manufacturing products were not viable options. Solution Spark Laser recognized very early on that the cost of producing moulds for each of the parts and then changing the design and iterating with traditional manufacturing methods was not viable. The cost of having moulds produced for each part would have ranged from as low as $5,000 per part up to $20,000 for some of the more complex parts, and this would have been multiplied by the number of iterations to the parts. Additionally, the complexity of design of some of the parts was not feasible for injection molding processes. Spark Laser was an early adopter of 3D printing as a solution to the design challenges of building a complex product like a laser from the bottom up. They began using desktop 3D printers for quick in-house iteration, but when it came to producing the final product they needed parts that were comparable in quality, consistency, and asthetics to injection molding. The parts produced by the desktop printer were not precise or robust enough for an end-use product. This is where Tempus 3D was able to really deliver value. Spark Laser had Tempus produce their first set of parts in the summer of 2021, which were used to build the first functioning prototype laser. These parts were produced on Tempus 3D’s in-house HP Multi Jet Fusion 5200 3D printer, which is capable of producing large volumes of high quality parts with accuracy and aesthetics comparable to injection molding. Result Using industrial 3D printing allowed Spark laser was able to get their product to market quickly, and secure significant orders through a distribution partner. This has allowed Spark to test the market early without incurring massive research and design costs while keeping their inventory and raw materials cost near zero. They can essentially just order parts and raw materials on an as-needed basis and scale in a way that only 3D printing would allow. Spark Laser and Tempus 3D continue to work together with the production of parts, and are both heavily invested in bringing manufacturing back to Canada. As Spark continues to see increasing demand for their products, Tempus is there to help them scale and meet their needs. The Future The manufacturing partnership between Spark Laser and Tempus 3D is a prime example of what manufacturing will look like in the future. The manufacturing process will be more responsive, more customized, and more local allowing innovators across sectors to bring products to market more quickly and in a more environmentally friendly way.

  • 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.
