That is a pretty awesome 3D printer! But I must say, I think the "scanning" part of the video is a bit of a scam. Look at 2:26 in the video how the wrench has a hole on the handle. Then at 3:50 you can see the wrench has a loop on it, instead of the hole. I think the wrench was reproduced in some CAD software, this was no exact copy. I think it would be hard to accurately attain dimensions from the internals of the wrench too by scanning it. Still a really cool product, but I'm not to sure on the entire scanning process.
