Unlock the 4th Dimension of your 3D Printer with
TIME-MASS
What is
Time-Mass?
Time-Mass is a pioneering filament that allows you to create objects specifically designed to occupy predefined spaces and times. This innovative material enables the production of 4-dimensional objects, a new stage in product engineering, offering unprecedented possibilities in various fields.
Pre-Programmed
Dissolution Times
• ACTIVE: Fully dissolves in minutes to days.
• EXTENDED: Dissolves over months.
• PASSIVE: Endures for years in a 4-Dimensional object.
Time-Mass comes in four pre-programmed dissolution times.
A Detailed Sit-Down with the Team
The potential applications of
Time-Mass are endless,
limited only by imagination:
MEDICAL WEARABLE PATCHES: These patches gradually release pharmaceuticals, nutrients, or therapeutic drugs over extended periods. This innovation could reduce treatment costs and broaden access to new therapeutic methods for chronic conditions, including mental health treatments like depression.
ADVANCED MILITARY GEAR: Envision a new era in military uniforms, equipment, and armor designed for specific durations. These materials can dissolve, leaving no trace, perfect for operations that require complete discretion and minimal environmental impact.
PROGRAMMABLE COLOR-CHANGE MATERIALS: Fabrics, containers, and surfaces that transition colors based on preset timelines, ranging from minutes to years, opening up new avenues for dynamic design and interactive experiences.
EVENT TIMING INDICATORS: Analog indicators for events or concerts to signal the start of festivities or remind attendees when it’s time to depart, enhancing guest experience with timely cues.
SMART CONSUMER PRODUCTS: Integrate technology into everyday items; imagine milk that turns red when it spoils, or water bottles that change color before they biodegrade. Consider medical patches that shift hues to signal different phases of medication delivery. These applications showcase the endless possibilities of integrating Time-Mass technology into daily life.
Time-Mass Support:
Elevating 3D Printing Beyond PVA
What makes Time-Mass Support better?
When tackling complex 3D printing projects, the choice of support material is crucial. Time-Mass Support stands out as the superior option, providing a more robust and efficient solution compared to traditional materials.
-
Time-Mass Support is engineered for strength and reliability, ensuring that even the most intricate designs are printed with precision. Unlike conventional materials that may lack the necessary sturdiness, Time-Mass Support maintains structural integrity throughout the printing process, minimizing the risk of warping or shifting.
-
The water-soluble nature of Time-Mass Support allows it to dissolve completely in a short period, making post-processing a breeze. With optimized dissolution time, you can remove supports quickly without the risk of damaging your print. This streamlined process stands in contrast to other materials, which may require extended soaking and risk weakening your print.
-
Time-Mass Support is designed to maintain high precision throughout the printing process, ensuring a flawless finish once the supports are removed. This means less time spent on post-processing and a cleaner, more professional final product. Traditional support materials, on the other hand, can sometimes leave behind residue or imperfections, necessitating additional cleanup.
-
When it comes to intricate designs, Time-Mass Support excels by providing the necessary stability and ease of removal that other materials struggle to offer. This makes it the ideal choice for advanced 3D printing projects, where precision and reliability are paramount.

“Timeplast aspires for our entire society to use water-soluble plastics, allowing us to extend the concept of zero plastic waste through Pabyss™ to a societal level. However, this will only occur if most, if not all, wasteful materials are water-soluble, reaffirming water's status as the universal solvent.”
