Scot A. Brown published a post on 3d printed rotational extruder "Rotruder" that produces continuous stream of clay objects. The rotating parts of the extruder form a mold when they are closing together.
Interesting concept and example of mold+extruder being made by with 3d printed parts. I think it could be used with other pasty materials or even food.
I have not found any design or technical documentation.It would be interesting to see the mechanism of power transmission that turns the six mold wheels.
