it's a Mendelmax 1.5 FDM (fused deposition molding) type. basically it's like a complex cake icing bag
http://store.makerstoolworks.com/printers-kits/ , IIRC I paid about $1k for the kit and he built it. he runs it off a laptop and it takes .stl files outputted from any 3d cad program. there are a couple of front end software packages that parse the stl files into slices and convert them into G code.
there was virtually no info and so he had to figure out the wiring and then de-bug the system.
