Description
Spectrum PLA SILK
A unique silky gloss
Spectrum PLA SILK is a PLA-based printing filament that contains specially designed pigments which give printed objects a beautiful silky finish and gloss. This finish significantly reduces the visibility of print layers on the sides of the object and delivers an exceptionally beautiful final result.
With specially developed pigments PLA SILK retains all the main advantages of regular PLA, such as easy and reliable printing, very low shrinkage and good tensile strength. This makes the material an excellent choice for those who want to combine simple printing with an outstanding look.
