FormFutura Hips 3D Filament

Hips 3D Filament is a quality and professional filament for 3D printing, which allows you to print polystyrene objects, with the same ease as you would with a PLA or ABS.

It is a shockproof polystyrene and differs from a “normal” HIPS in that it is more flexible and softer and has excellent thermal stability: it is easy to print even at relatively low temperatures as it has a lower risk of deformation.

Thanks to this lightweight 3D filament, you can print objects with fine details and a pleasant matte finish. The material is very light and a wide variety of adhesives can be easily glued to it.

Polystyrene is an acid-resistant material and thanks to this property polystyrene is one of the most commonly used thermoplastic materials in the world and finds its application, for example, in the food packaging sector.

Objects printed with polystyrene filament for 3D printing have excellent properties: they can be sanded, glued or painted. The finish is matte, but a smooth and shiny surface can be achieved by treating the parts with acetone vapors.

Printing temperature: ± 235° C
It does not require a heated surface, but if used, we recommend a temperature between 90 and 110°C
