Bambu PLA Silk

Bambu PLA Silk offers a silk-like and high-glossy that adds a luxury appearance to your prints while retaining PLA's ease of use. Different with other silk filaments, Bambu PLA Silk was toughened and demonstrates greater resistance to breakage when using AMS printing. It's ideal for decorations, artistic projects, and 3D character models or any parts where you want it shinier.

Silk-like appearance with ultra-high gloss

Bambu PLA Silk brings a silk-like appearance and long-lasting high gloss to your 3D prints, transforming models into stunning art.

Bambu PLA Silk is ideal for decorations, artistic projects, and 3D character models or any parts where you want it shinier.

Enhanced Toughness & AMS Compatible

Compared with regular PLA Silk, Bambu PLA Silk was toughened and demonstrates greater resistance to breakage when using AMS printing.

Controllable gloss

The appearance gloss of the model printed by Silk material can be controlled by printing temperature and speed. To get glossier finishes, higher printing temperatures and/or lower speeds are recommended.
