Introducing Timeplast Fiber
We are excited to unveil Timeplast Fiber, a groundbreaking sacrificial polymer technology that leverages our portfolio of patented materials to create an unparalleled product. Available in both 3D printing filament and raw pellet form, Timeplast Fiber enables the formation of fibers far thinner than those produced by conventional melt centrifuges, which are typically used to manufacture synthetic fibers and threads for clothing.
What sets this innovation apart is its molecular architecture. The materials are copolymerized into a single macromolecule. Upon exposure to water, one of the polymers in the structure “sacrifices” itself, dissolving completely. This process leaves behind an ultra-thin, organic polymer fiber that retains the homogeneous matrix it was embedded in prior to dissolution.
The result is an experimental filament that opens new frontiers in material science and manufacturing. Timeplast Fiber allows for 3D printing of incredibly soft objects, paving the way for the virtually unexplored domain of 3D-printed soft fabrics and wearables.
Timeplast Fiber also builds on the inherent flexibility of Timeplast materials, which are already more pliable than TPU. By enabling these materials to form ultra-thin fibers, we combine the elastomeric properties of Timeplast with the fibrous characteristics of this new copolymer. The outcome is a revolutionary product the industry has never seen before.
This marks the debut of the first-ever commercial sacrificial fiber filament, designed specifically for use in standard consumer-grade 3D printers.
Best regards,
Manuel Rendon.
