Authentic Metallic Look This composite PLA delivers a genuine metal-like luster straight from the spool—no plating, polishing, or oils needed. Particles reflect light for that premium metallic sheen, perfect for decorative pieces with industrial character.
Substance Over Sensation Despite its striking appearance, PLA Metal keeps it solid with tensile strength around 63 MPa, flexural strength about 92 MPa, and flexural modulus near 3,275 MPa—all while maintaining density (~1.225 g/cm³) and structural integrity for finish-first or functional items.
Matte-Metal Surface Profile The surface texture minimizes visible layer lines and feels pleasantly smooth—ideal for parts that need to look heavy-duty and refined, like hardware mock-ups, plaques, or mechanical accents.
🔧 Best For:
Decorative hardware: knobs, plaques, badges
Art pieces with a crafted-metal look: sculptures, figurines
Functional prototypes needing weight and aesthetic authenticity
TL;DR: PLA Metal brings a genuine metal-like appearance—with heavyweight feel and real structural strength—in a single, ready-to-use material. Ideal for upscale decor, functional prototypes, and designs that demand power and polish.
