Zortrax Z-HIPS
- Chemical Family
- High-Impact Polystyrene (HIPS)Styrenics
Z-HIPS is a versatile thermoplastic perfect for 3D printing prototypes which can be used in thorough tests before starting the production processes. It exhibits a high level of hardness, allowing you to complete durable prints without compromises on their quality. With Z-HIPS, your boldest models can acquire a unique, smooth, semimat surface and resemble elements manufactured with mass production plastics, therefore, imitate complete consumer products or end-use parts. Z-HIPS is also fully suited for creating prototypes of mechanical parts or casing elements for performance tests.

- Features
MOTORCYCLE TANK.; A prototype of motor tank 3D printed with Z-HIPS. The material's flawless surface reduces the amount of required post-processing.; Functional prototyping; Speed up product design by 3D printing high-end prototypes with Z-HIPS. Reliably test functionality and form of your designs before starting the production.; Smooth semi-mat surface; Z-HIPS prototypes perfectly imitate final products. Semi-mat finish reduces the amount of post-processing needed and masks the layering.; Impact resistance and high durability; Visually stunning, prototypes 3D printed with this polystyrene filament are also suitable for performance and impact tests.
