HIPS
Reliable Support and Easy Removal
High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS) is commonly used as a dissolvable support material, especially with ABS prints. It offers easy removal when dissolved in limonene, making it perfect for complex, multi-material prints.

Why Choose HIPS for 3D Printing?
HIPS is a lightweight, strong, and easy-to-print support material commonly used with ABS. It dissolves in limonene, making it ideal for complex dual-extrusion prints.
• Soluble support material for clean prints
• Compatible with ABS for dual extrusion
• Smooth finish on supported surfaces
Best Applications of HIPS Filament
HIPS is perfect for support structures, architectural models, packaging prototypes, and lightweight components that require high impact resistance and smooth finishes.
• Support structures in complex prints
• Multi-material and dual-extrusion projects


HIPS Material Highlights & Key Properties
HIPS offers excellent dimensional stability, matte surface finish, and is easy to post-process. It’s ideal for detailed prints and works well as a dissolvable support material with ABS.
- Flexibility: Highly elastic and stretchable
- Wear Resistance: Stands up to abrasion and repeated use
- Durability: Resilient under bending and impact
- Finish: Matte to semi-gloss, rubber-like texture
