Miami, Florida--(Newsfile Corp. - May 7, 2026) - Timeplast, the materials science company pioneering sustainable products and AI-enabled 3D printing, today announced the successful close of its oversubscribed $5 million Regulation CF campaign with DealMaker's platform.
The raise gained momentum in its final three weeks, bringing in roughly $1 million per week and drawing capital from 9,733 retail investors in total. That community is more than a cap table: when Timeplast launched its sustainable straws, a single email to its investor list sold 10,000 units in six hours, a signal that retail investors don't just fund the company, they buy from it.
Timeplast ran the offering using DealMaker's white-labeled platform rather than routing investors through a marketplace. This gave the company full ownership of its investor data and a direct channel to the community backing it.
"We didn't want to rent our investor relationships. DealMaker lets us own the data and build a direct relationship with the people backing us. That's a fundamentally different outcome than showing up as one logo among many."
● Manuel Rendón, CEO and Founder, Timeplast
The structure also preserves Timeplast's existing governance and aligns capital with the founder's long-term outlook, allowing the company to keep building toward products like the Manifester, an AI-powered home 3D printer currently in development.
"Manuel understood something the best issuers on our platform understand: retail capital is a community, not just money. His investors love the product, they show up, and now they own a piece of what he's building."
● Rebecca Kacaba, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, DealMaker
Timeplast's work to date has delivered two milestones: a class of sustainable materials that molecularly disintegrate in water, and a scalable industrial process refined across more than 30 production trials. The company now holds a portfolio of more than 80 proprietary 3D printing filaments, including what Timeplast believes to be the world's first 3D-printable soap.
Its next major product, the Manifester, is an AI-powered 3D printer designed to turn voice commands into finished physical objects, aiming to put industrial-scale manufacturing capability into a sub-$1,000 home device.
"Twenty years of R&D went into getting here. The people investing in Timeplast aren't looking for a quick exit. Neither are we."
● Manuel Rendón, CEO and Founder, Timeplast
Timeplast's raise reflects a growing pattern of long-development, innovation-led companies using retail investment structures to build the kind of engaged community that compounds product adoption alongside capital.
