Here’s how we started
Analog computing principles applied to printable materials using TimePlast’s material platform:
String Cubed is the R&D engine behind TimePlast's TimeMass filament line. Every product below was scientifically designed, formulated, and validated by String Cubed, then taken to market through TimePlast, where it is sold to thousands of customers across the consumer and prosumer 3D printing community.
These are not aesthetic novelties. Each filament is a piece of working materials science - the result of a single foundational breakthrough that allows heat-sensitive, functional, and chemically active payloads to survive the 200°C nozzle of a standard FDM printer. That breakthrough is described in our most recent U.S. patent application (US 2026/0061664 A1, filed August 26, 2025), and it is what makes the entire portfolio below possible.
For the conventional 3D printing industry, less than 1% of the world's chemistry can be printed at all.
The products below represent the small but growing fraction we have already moved out of that 1% - and a preview of what String Cubed expects to expand the printable material library to as our science matures.
Soap Gen 5 — the flagship "functional matter" proof point. First and only printable soap in the world.
TimeMass Photovoltaic — first printable solar core
Fish Bait — first printable real-functional protein filament
Plant Vitamin — first printable bioactive plant nutrition material
Coral Food — first printable true-reef nutrition material
Cinnamon (and aromatic series) — first true-preserved-aromatic printing
UV Reveal — printable photochemistry in polar mediums
Water Desalination — Fresh water from sea water through ionic exchange rather than osmotic pressure, a game changer for water availability on Planet Earth.

TimeMass Functional Composite Library
The “LEGO box of programmable matter”
The String Cubed-developed TimeMass ecosystem is a library of functional printable composites that can combine:
conductivity,
photovoltaics,
programmable dissolution,
fluidic logic,
and environmental responsiveness.
Bloominite
Patented automated seed pod
Bloominite™, as being held by Manuel in the picture on the left, is a programmable growth substrate and autonomous plant establishment platform designed to simplify and improve seed germination, early plant development, and environmental restoration. The invention combines structural engineering, materials science, and controlled nutrient delivery into a single manufacturable device capable of housing one or more seeds while providing water retention, nutrients, physical protection, and an optimized microenvironment for growth.
Unlike conventional seed pellets or fertilizer tablets, Bloominite functions as an engineered growth system whose geometry, material composition, porosity, dissolution characteristics, and nutrient profile can be tailored to specific plant species and environmental conditions. The device may be manufactured through additive manufacturing or conventional industrial processes, enabling scalable production of customized planting systems for agriculture, forestry, ecological restoration, landscaping, and urban greening.
The platform is intended to improve germination rates, reduce planting labor, minimize resource consumption, and increase seedling survival by integrating multiple biological and engineering functions into a single deployable unit. Depending on the application, Bloominite may incorporate biodegradable structural materials, controlled-release nutrients, moisture management features, microbial or fungal additives, soil conditioning agents, and species-specific growth formulations.
By transforming planting from the distribution of individual seeds into the deployment of engineered growth modules, Bloominite represents a new approach to precision agriculture and environmental regeneration, enabling programmable establishment of vegetation with reduced waste, greater consistency, and improved resilience across diverse ecosystems.
Bloominite is one of the key elements behind the Universal Prosperity project.
