Benefits of HIPS

As a Stratasys Validated Material , FDM HIPS offers a low-cost option for general low-requirement 3D printing applications. The material’s low unit cost makes it a good choice for prototyping applications where multiple iterations are desired to refine design concepts. Other applications include jigs, fixtures, assembly aids, and inspection tools not subjected to high loading. These lower-strength 3D printed tools can be made much faster and less expensive than a molded or machined alternative. 

 

 

Reusable and Recyclable 

The easy formability of FDM HIPS makes it easily reusable and recyclable, a beneficial feature for reducing the environmental impact of post-printed material.
