She looks great, I think she uses wood without problem, for metal, I don't know.

The printer works by melting plastic filament and laying the melted plastic in thin layers. Metal is out but you can get a wood/plastic filament that will work and can be sanded.

I have seen some PLA-filamant that did contain metallic parts. It may be possible to extrude such material through normal nozzles.
There is a filament in copper-color, printing-temperature is told to be 190 to 200 degrees. Othere colours are available, red copper, brass, aluminium.
I don't know if i am allowed to post a link here ...
