Filament Spectrum HIPS-X

High impact resistance

Spectrum HIPS-X is one of the support consumables intended for additive manufacturing in FDM/FFF technology. It usually serves a support role for components made of ABS, where after the manufacturing process is completed, the supports made of HIPS-X dissolve in a concentrated solution of citric acid (D-Limonene).

In addition, Spectrum HIPS-X can be used as a base material for the production of elements with reduced shrinkage during processing. It is a material with high impact resistance and pressure resistance. Moreover, it allows obtaining matte surfaces with reduced layer visibility. Like ABS – HIPS-X can be mechanically processed by sanding, turning, and milling.

Key features:

• improved aesthetics of printed elements due to the matte surface of the print
• high impact resistance
• thermal resistance - HDT B 88°C
• Vicat softening point - 96°C (ISO 306/A120)
• lightweight
• ideal for large prints
• lower shrinkage rate than classic ABS
• fully soluble in D-limonene
• possibility of mechanical processing (drilling, turning, milling, or sanding)
• matte surface

Applications:

• support material for ABS
• industrial applications requiring impact-resistant components or components with partial energy absorption
• concept model prototyping
• packaging

Spectrum HIPS-X is a material that is essentially used as a support material but is also applicable in industrial applications where elements require impact resistance and partial energy absorption. The low hardness of HIPS-X allows the use of this material in art, or more precisely in sculpture.
