this looks really cool. I'm not am ML chap, but always wondered: Can these kinds of algorithms also give you dimensional data? For example, can I 3D-print one of these models with any accuracy?

For that, you'll need to convert the representation we have (volumetric radiance field) to on your 3D printer can understand (a mesh?). The NeRF authors use the marching cubes algorithm to do just that. Check out their website: https://www.matthewtancik.com/nerf.
