MetalFil (polylactic acid) is a filament composed of PLA and gravimetrically filled with approximately 80% Ancient Bronze or Classic Copper powder. The high filling with these powders makes 3D printed objects almost indistinguishable from the original cast parts.
MetalFil can be post-processed with various patina effects.
