The eSUN eSilk 3D Printing Filament

The eSUN eSilk 3D filament is made with a PLA plastic that has been modified by adding materials with bright effects. The result is a stunning silk-like finish! A filament like this is excellent for projects you want to have a smooth, shiny, or projects resembling fabric. It is similar to other PLA filament materials, possessing the same good mechanical properties and toughness. The silk-like, high-gloss PLA material will cool to a bright, silky luster. This makes it suitable for large surface models, furniture accessories, and decorations.

Because of its excellent printing properties, the eSUN eSilk boasts high-performance prints with minimal shrinkage or warping. The consistent filament diameter flows smoothly through the printing nozzle, which helps cut down on jamming or printing failure. The result is a highly detailed print that cools to an excellent finish.

The PLA Filament

The eSUN eSilk filament is made from PLA (polylactic acid), a plastic produced from plant fiber. For this reason, the PLA used by eSUN is environmentally friendly, non-toxic, and fully biodegradable.

This PLA material, like the eSilk filament, was developed by the 3D printing product manufacturer eSUN Industrial Co., Ltd. ESUN was founded in 2002 in Shenzhen, China. It was founded to be both a leading producer of 3D printing products and a research institution for innovative eco-friendly products and manufacturing procedures. ESUN has grown to be a leading company in its niche, succeeding in being listed on the New OTC Market in April 2016.

Packaging

The eSUN eSilk filament comes on a clear spool in a vacuum-sealed package. The package includes a resealable bag lined with desiccant to ensure product freshness.
