Examples of my 3D printing, mold-making, and metal clay workflow:

Bronze belt buckle with torch patina. Face model captured with Autodesk Memento. Model sculpted in ZBrush, 3D printed, molded, and re-created with metal clay.

Bracelet clasp designed in ZBrush.

3D printed prototype for a bronze belt buckle.

Bronze Belt buckle pre-patina.

3D printed belt buckle model. Custom job for a friend. His face. Upper Manhattan. Yes–lightning. To become bronze.

This is my Printrbot 3D printer. Modifications include 16 separate printed parts. Shown printing a calibration pyramid. Proper machine calibration is necessary for correct sizing and finish of 3d printed parts

Here is a pair of finished bronze earrings, along with 3D printed model and mold.

These are earring parts being fabricated from metal clay. There is a combination of bronze, copper, and steel here. Some parts are experiments in married-metal technique. After creation in one clay, the part is back-filled with a contrasting metal clay, then sanded and fired.
