PLA Silk
Numakers™ Silk PLA is a unique filament that combines the strength and durability of PLA with the luxurious appearance and feel of silk. This filament is made from a blend of PLA and silky fibers, resulting in a material that is easy to print and produces stunningly beautiful prints. This filament also has excellent layer adhesion, resulting in strong and durable prints.
One of the unique properties of Silk PLA is its shimmering, silk-like finish. The silky fibers in the filament give prints a subtle sheen that catches the light and creates a visually striking effect. This finish is especially noticeable in prints with large flat surfaces, such as vases or sculptures.
Silk PLA is available in a wide range of colors, from metallic shades like gold and copper to bright, bold colors like purple and red. This variety of colors and finishes makes Silk PLA an excellent choice for a wide range of 3D printing applications, including jewelry, figurines, and household items.
