I looked it over pretty closely and I can't tell its method of fabrication. Is it a 3D router? Does it use a laser to harden layers of liquid or powder into a solid 3D component? The second picture shows what seems to be light defraction pattern.
Is it visible light, UV or infra-red??

Red is full of questions on this one. We used these in the past. The system I was familiar used the laser to cut/and fuse layers of paper together to form the 3D solid. Slow and only provides "approximate components due to the limitations of the paper."
