This new method of liquid printing is pretty damn impressive when you see it in action.

I would be surprised if they didn't patent the software behind all of that, unless they just used existing software and tweaked it to what they needed. Looks like I have some reading to do. I'm curious.A patent on this technique would be worth a metric crap-ton... if only it weren't going to be ripped off by manufacturers of cheap crap in China.
Why do I feel I've seen this before? Oh that's right, Hydrographics. It's actually rather easy to do it yourself. Was thinking of getting it done to my rims but nah.

Since it's in liquid couldn't it shift slightly and pretty much ruin the print?
This seems kind of ridiculous to me, I obviously haven't seen it in person, but in the video it looks pretty bad. Why wouldn't they go straight to creating a moveable inkjet or paint sprayer that sprays directly to the 3d surface?
Because its beyond the scope of computers.
Spray painting is a unique art form. Requires dynamic adjustments as you work.
This is making a job where you just basically dunk something into a stencil far more precise to make far better patterns. Its perfecting a form of mass production for something that a company makes hundreds of a day.

Because who could imagine a computer dynamically adjusting its behavior while it is working
