Cool! And Thor presents it so well.
But seriously, smells of a quantum leap with some improvement for bigger parts.

Why would I want to do this? I can’t think of any reason this is useful. Cool yes.

This is the first step in the process. Soon it will be scaled up and you will be able to print parts in a minute that would take other printers 3 or 4 hours to print. The detail is incredible, post print processing is virtually non existent. There are bio gels available that would allow doctors to print out a new ear for a burn victim in less than a minute. New heart valve? No problem.
Here is a post from @level_101 that gives a lot more information than this little video. Ignore that he put it in the wrong sub. :P

Ok so I get it. You are printing with superglue and the in lighting it to cure, so the “cool” time or time to harden is seconds Rather than minutes.

no, not really. Think of it as a tub of some sort of resin. The laser light show projects a hologram into the goo and then it puts the right frequency of light on it which makes the image projected into the goo solidify. There are all types of resin, the goo. some are biologic, some are plastic, some are rubber. Right now they can just make small stuff. In the future they will make car parts and human body parts. It's fast and it will be inexpensive, at some point, hopefully.
Also, this is a very simplified explanation and I am not an expert in it by any means so I might not be being technically correct in my explanation. This is my basic understanding of the process.
