Features & Benefits

Materials Features

High Durability,

Low Shrinkage,

Matte Finish

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.
