Actually, in that specific case, Jay said it is. I don't want to re-
watch to catch the exact words, but the short answer is that it can
use multiple types of materials to build up a part. When building an
assembly, it will use a dissolvable plastic in combination with
plastic that is resilient to build up moving parts. Then, dissolve
out the bits that lock the assembly together and you have assembled
components.
