They specifically use the capabilities of cheaper (GBP200-2000) plastic extrusion printers that are available as or are adapted from Free/Open Hardware. These work like hot glue guns on arms, rather than the more expensive ones (GBP5000-100000) which work like inkjet printers that also go up: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_printing#Additive_processes It would be pointless but amusing to simulate the output of the former using the latter.
