Bambu Lab PLA Metal 1kg is a decorative PLA filament with a realistic metallic appearance, designed to create 3D prints that visually resemble real metal. It is ideal for design objects, decorative parts, prototypes, and presentation models.
The filament is based on PLA with added metallic particles, providing stable extrusion, minimal shrinkage, and strong layer adhesion. PLA Metal prints easily and produces smooth, uniform surfaces without the need for complex post-processing.
