Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main types of polystyrene?

The two main types are GPPS (General Purpose Polystyrene) which is clear and rigid, and HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene) which is opaque and more impact-resistant. We offer both grades and can recommend the optimal choice based on your application’s requirements for clarity, impact resistance, and cost.

Is polystyrene suitable for food contact?

Yes, food-grade polystyrene is FDA approved and widely used for food packaging, disposable cups, and food service containers. We use food-safe PS materials that comply with international food safety regulations for applications requiring direct food contact.

What are the temperature limitations?

Polystyrene has a maximum continuous use temperature of approximately 70-80°C. It’s suitable for room temperature applications but not recommended for high-heat environments. For applications requiring higher temperature resistance, we can suggest alternative materials like ABS or polypropylene.

Can polystyrene be recycled?

Yes, polystyrene is recyclable (recycling code #6). While recycling infrastructure varies by region, PS can be mechanically recycled or converted into new products. Some municipalities have specific PS recycling programs, and specialized recyclers can process polystyrene waste.

What tolerances can you achieve?

Our polystyrene 3D printing typically achieves tolerances of ±0.3mm. PS has good dimensional stability with low shrinkage rates. For prototypes and models, these tolerances are generally sufficient. For critical dimensions requiring tighter tolerances, post-processing operations can be applied.

How does PS compare to other prototyping materials?

Polystyrene offers excellent cost-effectiveness and surface finish compared to many prototyping materials. It’s lighter than ABS, easier to finish than PLA, and more economical than engineering plastics. For architectural models and packaging prototypes, PS provides an ideal balance of properties, ease of processing, and cost.
