It has an inner metal layer (much thicker than the copper). and is used 
where large amounts of heat need to be removed. It's mainly used with 
high-power LEDs. It isn't easy to use.

sorry, mi mistake....

metalcore - I think aluminium based PCB.
For example, ours PCB manufacture using Doosan based material ( http://www.doosan.com/dse/en/products/heat.page?# )

But I have to make prototype "at home" - how?

Probably the quickest and cheapest way to do prototypes at home is the toner transfer method.

If you have a clothes iron and a laser printer or access to these items you can give it a try.

You will also need the correct paper, I find pages out of an old magazine to work well, and they are usually free...

A laminator is easier to get right but with practice an iron works OK
