I have my doubts about complex mechanisms. Ergo it's ********.
How, for example, was the machine/"scanner" able to determine the
nature of the thread inside the wrench?

No-one could determine that without dismantling the wrench first.
Ergo, niether could the machine.

Ergo, ********.

Possibly could be done for simple, none hollow, components.

But even then scanning would have to be done from all six sides, and
the object would have to be securely fixed as would the scanner.

So as displayed, total ********, only dopey Americans would be taken
in.

My suspicion is that they just skipped the step where someone went into the CAD
files generated in the scan to refine the unseen elements before printing.
