Surface Finishing for HIPS CNC Machined Parts
HIPS naturally offers a smooth, matte surface after CNC machining. While it doesn’t require extensive post-processing, the following finishes can be applied based on project needs:
Bead Blasting
Metals or plastics parts surface is left with a smooth, matte appearance, with no thickness removal specified.
As Machined
This finish retains visible tool marks and is suitable for both metals and plastics. There is no specific thickness removed in this finish.
Painting
Available for metals and plastics, this finish can be matte, gloss, or textured, with color matching possible.
What is HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene)?
High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS) is an affordable, easy-to-machine thermoplastic prized for its impact resistance and dimensional stability. It’s commonly used for low-strength structural parts, prototyping, and pre-production models because it machines cleanly, bonds and paints well, and—when natural (translucent white)—meets FDA requirements for food processing.
Applications for High-Impact Polystyrene
