Silver, gold, copper, and bronze powders have been formulated into clay-like materials and these metal clays are used by artists to form jewelry and sculpture by hand.  This presentation will describe how additive manufacturing/prototyping of bronze and copper objects can be done by adding a clay extruder to an inexpensive 3D printer.  Also described will be the post-printing possibilities and a firing method using a small kiln.
