About HiPS

High Impact Polystyrene (HiPS) filaments represent a significant advancement in the world of 3D printing, offering a versatile and durable material suitable for a wide range of applications. HiPS is a thermoplastic polymer known for its excellent impact resistance, making it ideal for producing robust and durable parts. These filaments are commonly used in both prototyping and manufacturing processes across various industries, including automotive, aerospace, electronics, and consumer goods. HIPS is commonly used as a soluble support material for ABS, ASA or Nylon due to its good solubility in D-Limonene, a solvent with high availability and low toxicity.

Considerations

Printing with HiPS filaments requires standard desktop FDM 3D printers equipped with a heated bed. HiPS adheres well to common print bed surfaces such as glass or Kapton tape, reducing the likelihood of warping and ensuring successful print outcomes. The printing parameters for HiPS filaments are similar to those of other thermoplastics, with recommended extrusion temperatures typically ranging between 220°C to 240°C.

Applications

HiPS filaments find a wide range of applications across industries due to their excellent mechanical properties and ease of use. In the automotive and aerospace sectors, HiPS is commonly used for prototyping vehicle components, such as interior trim panels, dashboard fixtures, and functional prototypes. In electronics manufacturing, HiPS filaments are employed for producing casings, enclosures, and housings for electronic devices due to their durability and impact resistance. Additionally, HiPS is favored in the consumer goods industry for creating consumer products, packaging prototypes, and display models. With its versatility and reliability, HiPS filaments continue to play a crucial role in driving innovation and efficiency in 3D printing applications.
