I would imagine it's probably a bit more complicated than shown in the video, and they will probably have to spec some of the internal/moving parts beyond the initial scan.

Re: 3D Printing? This can`t be for real?
Was thinking of making our own, just need a small heated extruder and an X-Y table with stepper motors..
Here's a report from last year on the bbc news site
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-11834044
The really great ones are the ones that use a laser to set layers of a liquid..

A 3D printer that uses chocolate has been developed by University of Exeter researchers - and it prints layers of chocolate instead of ink or plastic.

Typical woman. Show her something that can produce chocolate and she loses interest in everything else...
