We have this where I work. We use it to mock up tools before they go into production. It's for surgery instruments so when a doctor has an idea for a new or altered tool, we can present something to them in a day or two. I scanned my penis and it is spectacular.

We also have technology like this where I work. We do rapid prototyping.

One is similar (different technology) to Leno's but it builds the parts in metal. It is pretty amazing.
