Just think they can print parts for the body and implant them, Like bones and joints, legs feet and hands.

The copy may look like the original, but it is not functional as a tool. I don’t understand how they can copy the operating mechanism of the wrench?

I think it’s neat technology, but with little practical usage (of course, somebody probably said that once about the Wright Brother’s technologies, too).

The material is are a polymer bound together with light much like your dentist hardens the dental work in your mouth.
I almost purchased one of them back in the 0990s for a company I was working with.
The output product is not strong. look at the sample ion the video. It’s a Huge plastic wrench that can tighten better than finger tight. But it is no match for a steel wrench.
The moving parts aspect of it is astonishing. In the 10990s when I was looking at that tech’ you could get a mono component out in the color of the resin. Complex shapes yes, but not moving parts
