The "printing" of solid objects has been around for a while. This seems to be many levels above though. While it seems impossible to do, so was the box that sits in your living room with the guy inside entertaining you.

As said they have been around for a while, however remember these are not working units. While the wrench looked like the real thing, it was only a non working model.

Did you not see him adjust the wrench and tighten a nut with it???

No common scanner will show the axle on which the adjuster turns. Industrial x-ray will. Maybe they touched up the scan to show the hidden parts before feeding it to the printer. If so they glossed over this.

Leon, did you notice the differences in the wrench scanned and the one printed?
This one of a wooden statue is a more believable:

After viewing Jay Leno's video, 3D scanning would be something useful. Check out

Powdered egg and sausage in print cartridges and you can order breakfast over the Internet.

In the general vicinity of where you'd be biting ... just follow your chin, or nose depending upon your orientation.

I have a Makerbot Thing-o-Matic. Very real. I'm building a 3D scanner, so I will soon have a 3D photocopy system...

I just bought an add-on to my 3D printer that will allow printing in fondant or royal icing (wedding cake toppers?), peanut butter, liver sausage (doggie birthday cakes) or any paste that can be extruded...

I fantasized, and had a recurring dream, as a six year old in 1949, that one day I would own a book that had all the books in the world on it and I could read it without turning pages.
The eBook is now a common item.
Over 40 years ago, when first introduced to digital computers, I fantasized that one day I could digitize all my prized "stuff" and store them on a computer, instead of on a shelf.
Seems like that is also coming to pass ...
It's great to be around to see these dreams/fantasy's come true.
ITMT,think I'll keep fantasizing/dreaming.
Ashely Judd, I'm waiting ... ;)
