This is really, really neat stuff. This is full color 3D printing. Usually in 3D printing you can "fake" different colors by using different materials to print with, but only actual can display a few colors (red, green, blue). This, however, uses actual ink and allows any color you so desire.
For example, if we had a 3D model of this year's robot, we could send it to them, and in a few days (ten) we would get it back - in full color. Really quite neat. Would be a nice gift for sponsors.
