I did look at it. Still not sure what it is. It's just a bunch of marketing nonsense, as per usual.
It can print on any surface so you could throw a mug in there and print on the side of it apparently. 3D printers require a flat bed to print an object on. It sounds like the mechanics are similar to a resin printer but with the ability to print on top of an existing object.
Not at all like a resin printer. Imagine a hybrid: the top part is an inkjet printer with a printhead that goes side-to-side shooting ink but instead of paper sliding under it there's a flatbed not unlike the one in a filament 3D printer. The ink is cured by a uv lamp (or more than one, but I suspect this printer has only one and very small and weak since the smaller lamp I work with costs more than this hole printer) usually fixed to the side of the printhead 'carriage'.
