PLA Metal

Bambu PLA Metal

Bambu PLA Metal is a metallic textured filament designed to enhance the aesthetic of your prints. It is designed to mimic the surface texture of metal, but it does not contain actual metal fillers.

With its advanced metallic shine, this filament offers a professional and high-end finish and a touch of sophistication to your prints while retaining almost the same comprehensive performance of regular PLA.
