High Impact Polystyrene, or HIPS, filaments are a distinct type of thermoplastics for use in 3D printing. This material is sturdy and malleable, with tensile strength that is comparable to the more commonly used ABS filament.

HIPS filaments are most often used as a bridging or support material for items printed with ABS. HIPS is unique because it can be dissolved using a limonene solution. This means that items printed with a HIPS support frame do not need to be sanded down, minimizing the risk of damage.

HIPS filaments encourage sustainability because it is durable, highly recyclable, and non-toxic. This material can withstand heat and pressure better than other filaments, which reduces the risk of bad prints. This, in turn, means that 3D printers use less of this material.

Unlike other supporting materials, HIPS filaments are dissolvable, which means there is less wastage. They also do not release toxic fumes, which allows users to print with this filament without worrying about harmful gases. Coupled with the recyclability of ABS, HIPS filaments represent a step forward in green and sustainable 3D printing.
