Technology & Products
Key Products
HP Multi Jet Fusion 3D Printing; 3D Scanning & Reverse Engineering; Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM) Consulting; Low-to-Mid Volume Production Runs
Technological Advantage
CLAIMED: Industry-leading HP MJF 5200 technology for mass-producing engineering-grade parts with excellent mechanical properties at low cost per part. VERIFIED: HP Certified Multi Jet Fusion Production Professional status; STAC collaboration for expanded capabilities. DEFENSIBILITY: Operational/Process advantage via HP certification and regional logistics, not patented.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Eliminates injection molding tooling costs while reducing lead times from 8-12 weeks to 2-5 days, enabling on-demand production and rapid design iteration for low-to-mid volume plastic parts.
How They Differentiate
Unlike global automated platforms (Xometry, Hubs), Tempus 3D provides localized Canadian engineering support, overnight domestic delivery, and dedicated DfAM consultation. Compared to Protolabs, it focuses specifically on HP MJF polymer production rather than a broad multi-technology catalog, offering optimized economics for mid-volume plastic parts.
Market & Competition
Target Customers
Product developers, engineers, and manufacturers requiring functional prototypes and end-use parts without injection molding tooling.
