Metal Like PLA
WHAT IS METAL LIKE PLA?
Our Metal Like PLA filament range will shine and shimmer just like the real thing. It is a specialised mixture of a metal with a binding polymer. It has good tensile strength and will not clog or wear your nozzle. It has low shrinkage properties and high thermoforming dimensional stability. If you are after that special metal look, then this is the filament you have been looking for.
PLA plastic or polylactic acid is a vegetable-based plastic material, which commonly uses cornstarch as a raw material. This material is a thermoplastic aliphatic polyester and it is the primary natural raw material used in 3D printing. PLA is a fully biodegradable thermoplastic polymer consisting of renewable raw materials. Among all 3D printing materials, PLA is one of the most popular materials used for additive manufacturing.

APPLICATION & TIPS
Perfect for prints with a shining, shimmering, metallic look.
For best results, the thinner the layer, the slower you print, the higher quality you will get.
PLA filament is an easy-to-use material that will print perfectly with a standard type of nozzle.
For good adhesion to the print bed and easy removal, we recommend installing a WHAM BAM Flexible Build System on your FDM Printer.
