Trail’s Tempus 3D delivers precision 3D printing in Canada using cutting-edge technology designed for industrial production environments.
An innovative project in Trail will help recycle plastic, prevent waste and create good, clean jobs.
Tempus 3D is receiving $250,000 from the provincial CleanBC Plastics Action Fund for recycling of PCR from 3D printing.
Called on-demand additive manufacturing, Tempus 3D delivers precision 3D printing in Canada using cutting-edge technology designed for industrial production environments.
“From prototyping to mass production, we manufacture plastic and metal parts with complex geometries and high aesthetic demands,” the company’s website explained. “As a trusted provider of industrial 3D printing in Canada, our certified production team and streamlined online quoting system ensure your parts are delivered on-time and on-spec.”
The money from the province will support the recycling project to prevent and reduce plastic waste in B.C.
“Tempus 3D is doing some incredibly impressive stuff right here in the Kootenay region,” said Steve Morissette, MLA for Kootenay-Monashee, in a press release.
First launched in 2020, the fund has invested over $35 million into projects that find creative solutions to help reduce plastic waste in communities. This year, the provincial government is providing more than $8 million through the CleanBC Plastics Action Fund to local businesses, foundations, and First Nations.
The funding will support 34 new projects, with 63 projects having received funding in previous years. The first two phases of the Plastics Action Fund have already created over 240 direct long-term, full-time jobs, with more on the way in phase three.
