HIPS
HIPS is a lightweight, affordable material that is favored for its versatility. This filament is a
synthetic copolymer, combining polystyrene and polybutadiene rubber for a tough filament
with a fair amount of give.
Because of its dimensional stability, it’s frequently used for pre-production prototyping. It can
also be used as support material in dual extrusion 3D printing, as it is soluble in Limonene, a
lemon-based solvent that is easily available.
HIPS is stronger and harder than PLA or ABS, and is not as prone to warping as ABS. This
material is easily sanded, can be painted with little difficulty, and works with a variety of
adhesives. It’s non-hygroscopic, meaning it doesn’t attract or absorb moisture from the air.

INOVA-1800
INOVA-1800 prints have a glossy, smooth finish, and feature a great balance of strength and
3D printing ease. 3D prints are dimensionally stable, bridge well and are a great choice for
interlocking objects, props, and other functional 3D prints. INOVA-1800 boasts consistent
colorant formulation for reliable, repeatable 3D prints.
INOVA-1800 adheres well to our PEI print surface. We strongly recommend applying PVA glue
directly on the print surface using a glue stick (such as Elmer’s® brand) before printing to
ensure easy part removal.
