Learn how CGX systems was able to simplify their supply chain, reduce time to market and improve their product design for their EEG headsets using MJF technology. Case study: CGX HEADSETS CGX uses Multi Jet Fusion technology to create innovative designs, simplify supply chain, and reduce time to market. "Over the past 2 years using HP MJF, we’ve noticed significant improvements in material stability, finishing techniques, and turnaround time. This explains why MJF is the focal point of our design process. We have several ground-breaking products in the R&D stage today that were simply unbuildable just 3 years ago.” Key bene fits Able to manufacture 95% of EEG headset parts with MJF technology. Labor hours cut from 30 hours to 15 hours. Significant savings in cost and lead times. Lighter, stronger, more robust parts. Able to quickly and easily modify and improve design of prototypes and end-use parts. The biocompatibility certification of the materials enables their use for medical devices. Organization CGX Systems Industry Medical Technology HP Multi Jet Fusion Materials HP PA12, HP PA11 Introduction CGX Systems is a medical innovation company which is a leader in designing and manufacturing dry electroencephalogram (EEG) headsets and dry electrodes. During the development and commercialization phase of the EEG technology their manufacturing processes were limiting the ability to design and manufacture high-quality products quickly and effectively. Challenge CGX designs and manufactures its own EEG devices which are used to monitor brain activity. As they transitioned from the design to the manufacturing process, the developers wanted a more efficient production method and better materials than the ones they were using at the time. Some of the parts were 3D printed with ABS filaments, but this resulted in quality control issues and the end result was not aesthetically pleasing. Other production methods they tried, including gravity casting and polyurethane, were too slow to keep up with demand. Injection molding was not an economical option as it was too expensive for the low-volume production runs and the highly specialized design. CGX needed a solution that could efficiently build low-volume, specialized systems using materials that were robust, biocompatible, and easy to manufacture. Solution CGX enlisted the help of a 3D printing service bureau with HP Multi Jet Fusion technology to provide a solution to their challenges. They started playing with multiple design iterations of functional prototypes to optimize their headset design, and were able to gain significant savings in cost and lead times over their previous prototyping and manufacturing processes. “We took all of our gravity cast parts and switched them to HP Multi Jet Fusion because there were a lot more possibilities with it... we even started making some of our molds out of HP MJF because it was consistent and it lasted longer than what we were using previously. We really tried to focus on using HP Multi Jet Fusion for all parts of our manufacturing." Result CGX now manufactures 95% of their headset parts with Multi Jet Fusion. Because the same technology is used for prototyping and manufacturing they can easily modify their products as they go. “We can... rapidly design because we’re not putting time and dollars into molds or tooling, so we’re able to modify our headset designs for continual improvement”. Another benefit is the robust and flexible nature of the materials, which can stand up to long-term wear and tear. “HP MJF has really helped. When you design correctly, it’s basically indestructible. That really helps us improve our overall design. Our first-generation EEG was heavier, less elegant, and could become uncomfortable for sensitive subjects. Our new designs are significantly more user friendly.” Other benefits CGX experienced with Multi Jet Fusion are speed and efficiency of production. Their labor hours were cut in half from 30 hours to 15 hours, while designing more sophisticated parts with more features than they could with other manufacturing technologies. “HP MJF changed our business. We are able to design and produce far more sophisticated devices while reducing design and manufacturing time by almost 50%.

Kalesnikoff Lumber was looking for a local manufacturer to re-design and build lumber guides for their finger jointing machinery. The original machined-aluminum guides were expensive and difficult to source, so they approached Selkirk Technology Access Center (STAC) and Tempus 3D for a solution. The collaboration resulted in a more functional and affordable design, 3D printed with Nylon 12 using industrial 3D printing technology. Read the full case study to learn more. Kalesnikoff Lumber adopts industrial 3D printing to alleviate supply chain challenges, reduce down time, and improve productivity. Key benefits Production of custom parts currently unavailable elsewhere. Significantly reduced cost of manufacturing, compared to machined aluminum. Supports manufacturing in Canada and British Columbia. Supports local production of value-added forest products. Organizations Kalesnikoff Lumber , Selkirk Technology Access Center Industry Forest Products, Mass Timber, Industrial Machining Technology HP Multi Jet Fusion Materials HP Nylon PA12 Introduction Kalesnikoff Lumber is North America’s most advanced, vertically integrated, multi-species mass timber manufacturer. It is a family-owned company located between Nelson and Castlegar, BC, in the fertile West Kootenay wet-belt where they have been in business since 1939. Their products include Cross Laminated Timber, GLULAM Beams, GLT Panels, Japan Zairai, and other lumber products. To support their production they have an ongoing need for replacement parts, which have become increasingly challenging to source due to the supply chain disruptions caused by the global COVID 19 pandemic. Challenge The machined aluminum lugs used in Kalesnikoff’s finger-jointing line are expensive to produce and have become difficult to source locally. These lugs are used to hold boards in place while the joints are being milled. Because of the close proximity to the saws and the constant movement of the line these lugs wear out over time and often get struck by the saw blades as they become loose. This damage is often catastrophic to the part, and also results in damage to other elements on the production line. This damage can result in costly downtime while the parts are repaired. In search of a solution, Kalesnikoff approached the team at the Selkirk Technology Access Centre (STAC) located in Trail, BC to see if they had an option for producing these parts locally, economically, and in a way that improved reliability. Kalesnikoff has had a long working relationship with STAC and they have collaborated on numerous projects in the past. Solution The first step in coming up with a solution was to reverse-engineer the parts and produce a digital file of the parts. The team at STAC has decades of combined experience and were able to take the part from drawings to a 3D printable file in minimal time. The reverse engineering also created an opportunity to address any design flaws that had plagued the original parts, and the end design resulted in an improved part that will result in reduced downtime for the mill. Once a digital file was created, the team at STAC was able to have the part 3D printed by Tempus 3D , a 3D printing service bureau located in Trail BC. Tempus printed the part in Nylon PA-12 using HP Multi Jet Fusion 3D printing technology, which produces parts with high durability and strength along with other mechanical properties that proved ideal for this use-case. After the initial test print, Tempus was able to produce 10 sets of these lugs which should satisfy the needs of Kalesnikoff for a significant period of time. Result In collaboration with STAC and Tempus 3D, Kalesnikoff Lumber was able to reduce their supply chain risk by sourcing parts locally at a reduced cost and with improved functionality. Their collaborative approach to the problem also fosters innovation in the region and supports local business, resulting in more sustainable long-term business practices. Kalesnikoff, STAC and Tempus 3D continue to work together on a number of innovative projects and continue to support local industry through the challenges arising from the global COVID 19 pandemic and global supply chain issues.

Montreal-based medical services innovator uses 3D printing technology to develop custom form-fitted and breathable back braces to improve patient comfort and outcomes. 3D Printed Medical Back Brace Montreal-based medical services innovator uses 3D printing technology to develop custom form-fitted and breathable back braces to improve patient comfort and outcomes. A medical services innovator based in Montreal, Quebec approached Tempus 3D with a back brace design to manufacture for them. They were looking for a company with the capacity to build the extra-large piece with material that had the strength, flexibility and resilience to be worn for long periods of time. The team at Tempus collaborated with HP and Hawkridge to provide a solution that suited their manufacturing requirements, while keeping cost and production time to a minimum. Key benefits Mass low-cost customization Complex geometries that result in reduced part cost Photo courtesy of Airforce Velocity Stacks Organization Montreal, Quebec based medical services innovator Industry Medical Prosthetics and Braces Partners HP , Hawkridge Systems , STAC Technology HP Multi Jet Fusion 5200 , with build dimensions of 380 x 284 x 380 mm Material HP Nylon PA12 Software Solidworks Post Processing Bead blasted and dyed black Challenge The biggest challenge with this project was the large size of the brace. When large, flat parts are 3D printed there is a risk of the piece warping because of the uneven cooling that can occur as the part is being built. Also, there are not many commercial 3D printers which can manufacture such large pieces. The secondary challenge was to ensure the material had the strength, durability and flexibility to provide comfortable support and was suitable to be used as a medical device. Solution The team at Tempus 3D was able to leverage HP Multi Jet Fusion 3D printing technology, which provides the class-leading build volume and part quality required to successfully manufacture this design. With this printer all of the parts for the brace could all be fit into one print run, which saves manufacturing time and cost. The greatest risk in the production of the brace was the potential for the pieces to warp, because the difference in temperatures across large, flat pieces can bend them as they cool. Tempus 3D drew on support from experts at HP and Hawkridge Systems, who worked with the team at Tempus to ensure the part orientation and print settings were optimized for the best result. The template for this build can now be used to print the same or similar pieces for the supplier on-demand with precise repeatability between prints. The other consideration in building the brace was to select a material that was suitable for a medical device used on or near the skin. Nylon 12 was the material of choice because it has a high tensile strength, is water proof and certified biocompatible. It also has enough flexibility to accomodate the patient's movement without losing it’s support. Result Tempus collaborated with their partners at HP, Hawkridge systems, and the client to produce a part that exceeded their expectations in terms of finish, colour, accuracy, and cost. We look forward to continue building these parts that have the potential to positively impact patient outcomes and lead to further advancement in the Canadian medical sector.

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.
