The "printing" of solid objects has been around for a while. This seems
to be many levels above though. While it seems impossible to do, so was
the box that sits in your living room with the guy inside entertaining
you.
As said they have been around for a while, however remember these are
not working units. While the wrench looked like the real thing, it was
only a non working model.

Did you not see him adjust the wrench and tighten a nut with it???

No common scanner will show the axle on which the adjuster turns.
Industrial x-ray will.
Maybe they touched up the scan to show the hidden parts before feeding
it to the printer.
If so they glossed over this.
