Ok...
this isn't "Star trek's" replicator...
but look similar to "Jurassic park's" Bone-builder polymeric printer
(remember the Velocirraptor's sound-maker cavity?)
Once I saw one "model-scale" maker machine, this device put one sheet of plastic over another and plotting the next surface, blow the debris away and one hot air nose slightly melt down the sheet to provide adhesion, over previous "pancake tower" of sheets, and start again with one new sheet.
I remember too the movie "5th element" when the machine "re-build" the gorgeous women slice by slice starting from one hand as DNA source...
but... "only in Hollywood movies" by now...
