HIPS “High Impact Polystyrene” plastic is a low-cost plastic material that is easy to machine and fabricates. This plastic material is specified for low strength structural application when impact resistance, machinability, and low cost are required. It is frequently used for machining pre-production prototypes since it has excellent dimensional stability and is easy to fabricate paint and glue.
HIPS plastic is a modified form of polystyrene: Polystyrene (PS) plastic is a naturally transparent thermoplastic material that is available in several forms. It has very similar properties to ABS, but offers more hardness, impact resistance and works well as a support material.
HIPS, in fact, allow making easier complex prints by saving you some trouble as break-away support. When being used as a support material (commonly with ABS) HIPS can be dissolved in d-Limonene, leaving your print free of any markings caused by support removal.
