That mimaki’s been around for a few years. $230,000!

I’ve been looking at that tech ever since I found HeroForge.
They print 3D characters on demand for gaming - ie very small - the base on these is 1" d. They’ve been doing these for a couple years now.
(the gaming cube in this picture shows their actual size.)

Even more fun is the new EFI Vutek UV printer that does 8 or 9 pass 3D texture on flat prints. I just saw one a couple weeks ago and very impressive. While I’ll never buy one, I’m scoping around for a vendor that has one as it could be very useful.

we’ve been exploring this kind of thing with our flatbed UV printers. It works pretty well if you build the files right and print in the right order.
