I'd love to see this printer in action. I wonder how exactly it works. Has to be SLS, right? From those photos it certainly doesn't look like it's ceramic filament. At the price tage of just under $10K, I'm sure it's not filament.

Well, because we've been eating and drinking from ceramics for hundreds of years
There is nothing new about the materials, just how they are constructed.
