Ultrafuse HiPS is a high-quality engineering thermoplastic, well known in the 3D printing industry as a support material for ABS. But this material has additional properties to offer such as good impact resistance, good dimensional stability and easy post-processing.

CHARACTERISTICS :

• Simple post-processing (glue and varnish)
• Good aesthetics
• Specific support material for ABS

Hips

HiPS is a great material to use as a support for ABS because there is good compatibility between the two materials and HiPS is an easily detachable support. Now you have the opportunity to create ABS models with complex geometry. Our HiPS is easy to work with glue or sandpaper.

Our Ultrafuse HiPS filament is a great material to use as a support for ABS because it dissolves in D' limonene. With this lightweight material, your prints will have a beautiful matte finish. The composition of the material makes it ideal for painting.
