Properties:
Polystyrene (PS) plastic is a naturally transparent thermoplastic that is available as both a typical solid plastic as well in the
form of a rigid foam material. PS plastic is commonly used in a variety of consumer product applications and is also particularly
useful for commercial packaging.
Polystyrene (PS) for Prototype Development on CNC Machines and 3D Printers: Polystyrene is available in sheet stock, rod stock,
and in various shapes. It is a great candidate for subtractive machining processes on a CNC machine. Colors are usually limited to
clear, white, and black although colors can be added and it is an excellent candidate for external painting.
Polystyrene (PS) for� Injection Molding:
General Purpose Polystyrene (GPPS) and High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS) are probably the most commonly used PS resins for injection
molding. GPPS is clear, but brittle (think of a CD jewel case) while HIPS is opaque and much less brittle.
