Description
| Manufactured in
the USA from 100% virgin High Impact Polystyrene resin. We use
state-of-the-art resins & manufacturing technologies to give you the best
possible printing experience. HIPS can be used for parts that require
low-gloss and nearly invisible layer lines. It does not absorb moisture, so
you do not need to keep it in a dry box. Plus, it requires very little setup to achieve truly great prints in practically any 3D printer. It can also be used as an excellent break-away support for ABS and ASA or completely dissolved in d-limonene. Precision extruded using our own formulation, this grade is a bit different than the usual HIPS used to make our model material colors. It’s formulated to be more sensitive to attack from d-limonene solvent and make a better dissolving support solution. |
Benefits of 3DXMAX HIPS :
- Very good, strong support material
- Prints very easily
- Polymer doesn’t absorb moisture, no drying required!
- Can be removed from models by hand
- Can also be dissolved away with d-limonene
- 3DXMAX HIPS is another industry favorite support, it works excellent with all the following, and is very popular among makers and the industrial 3D printing industry alike.
- Works perfectly with many materials, especially the industry’s workhorses like ABS and ASA.
- This includes all of our famous composite variants of these grades, such as carbon fiber, glass fiber, and ESD-safe.

Abrasive Material
This material is particularly abrasive among 3D printing filaments. Users may find standard brass nozzles are chewed through very quickly compared to standard wear and tear. When worn through, the nozzle diameter will widen inconsistently and the printer will experience extrusion issues.
Because of this, it's strongly recommended this material be printed through a hardened steel nozzle rather than a softer metal. Hardened steel nozzles can often be inexpensive and easily installed depending on your printer manufacturer's instructions.
Material DETAILS
Glass Fiber Reinforced Filament
What Is It?
DescriptionFibers made of glass reinforced into the polymer during manufacturing and aligned along the axis of filament.
This, along with their physical makeup, give this material enormous strength and mechanical properties.
What Does It Do?
Glass fiber reinforcement gives material a lot of desirable properties:
High strength
High stiffness
High chemical resistance
Low thermal expansion
How Does It Work?
Reinforcing plastic with glass fibers produces a 3D printing filament which exhibits the best properties of both fiberglass and the plastic of choice.
What Is It Good For?
Ideal for any applications which require strength and rigidity.
For these reasons, glass fiber reinforced filament is very popular in automotive, mechanical, civil engineering, and research industries.
