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.
