They did not know how long it would last inside a body or even if it would work within a body. But it was demonstrated on the news that evening that it did extract fluid and secret it. Can't remember the details, but if this really works, we can just tell the doc, we want a printed kidney, heart, liver, lungs or whatever and it should be printed out in just a few hours. Don't know if I want all that powder and resin in me, but who knows?
Maybe they will be able to print me out some brain sections, especially memory...

Secondly, there is no way to scan the moving parts or the invisible screw that makes it work.
Notice the very large missing hole on the end of the handle of the copy.
These printers do work, but they work from CAD drawings, the scanner lets you load a file into the CAD software where you spend time adding the moving parts also how does the software know what is the adjustment know vs the wrench so they can color it red, again this is done manually.
I will let you think about the other differences.
Here is a link to what Paul is talking about. It is from the company that was in the video.

The second article talks about creating objects with moving parts. It also takes about 3D printing metal objects including out of Stainless Steel.

This video is highly simplified and edited in a way that leaves out a lot of the "work" that goes into this. Those printers have the resolution to produce moving parts in various substrates. things like a cam would come out great from a 3d scan. the desktop models scan even better than that hand held one. A 3d scan takes out a lot of the modeling process but there is still a lot of clean up and editing to get a working moving printed 3d object with internal parts.

Faked is IMHO a bit extreme! Misleading is a more accurate one.
The wrench 'printed' was:
1) Not an identical duplicate. Much external detail was different and I assume internal details as well.
2) All the extra work mentioned by sublevel4(and earlier) was not even alluded to.(except the coloration tidbit).
So although the simplistic procedure shown was mis-leading, the produced plastic wrench was not faked.
Understand us engineers are a persnickety bunch and do sweat the details. To us there is a very narrow line differentiating faked and misleading.
I do not know who the intended audience was, but we are probably being critical from a different perspective than the intended viewers(kids?).

No it was faked but it could have been done for real if the show went on for several days or they could have edited down the real process or used time-lapsed photography.
