Print Metal - AirVortex3D is an attachment that dries metal clay (BRONZclay3D) soon after extrusion so tall objects can be printed with metal clay. Once the clay is dried, it is fired in an inexpensive kiln to a solid bronze object.

The AirVortex3D solves the problem of slumping when printing with metal clay or other paste-like materials. The BRONZclay3D is a mix of bronze powder (90% Copper, 10% Tin), water, binder and other non-toxic materials. Once fired, the bronze sinters into a solid metal object that has the same properties as cast bronze. It malleable, drillable, and has all of the properties you would expect with bronze metal. When polished it looks similar to 18K gold. The AirVortex3D is shown attached to the Mini Metal Maker. The collapsed cylinder shown are printing without the AirVortex3D turned on. One photo shows 3 cylinders, first has no air and no heat, second shows air with no heat, and the third shows what the AirVortex3D can produce with air and heat.
