I was amazed until they got to the cat (about 3:00 in). At that point I was blown away. The inside surfaces of the "outside" legs were also accounted for in the mapping, and it was spot on.

This is seriously cool.

This is incredible but I'm assuming that the print and the objects are painstakingly aligned as the immersion rod has no lateral movement.

Sure seems like something that could be easily remedied in future iterations. They've already figured out the hard part; alignment is a solved problem for all intents and purposes.

Yeah, that was the thing that impressed me most, too.

Yes, it's pretty seamless on boundaries.
