Filament Spectrum HIPS-X

High Impact Resistance

Spectrum HIPS-X is one of the support materials for additive manufacturing in the FDM/FFF process. It typically serves a supportive role for parts made from ABS, where the HIPS-X supports are dissolved in a concentrated solution of citric acid (D-Limonene) after the manufacturing process is completed.

Additionally, Spectrum HIPS-X can be used as a base material for creating elements with reduced processing shrinkage. It is a material with high impact bending strength and compressive strength. Furthermore, it allows for achieving matte surfaces with reduced layer visibility. Similar to ABS, HIPS-X can be processed through sanding, turning, and milling.

Applications:

• Support material for ABS
• Industrial applications requiring impact-resistant components or parts with the ability for partial energy dissipation
• Prototyping of conceptual models
• Packaging

Spectrum HIPS-X is a material primarily used as a support material, but it is also utilized in industrial applications that require impact-resistant components or parts with the ability for partial energy dissipation. The low hardness of HIPS-X allows for its use in the arts, specifically in sculpture.
