This was honestly a pretty poor choice of model to demonstrate their 3D printing capability. While it looks cool, the designer clearly does not know much about the design of rocket engines or fluid dynamics in general, and worse, this model doesn't really make it clear what they're capable of in terms of say minimum wall thickness or maximum unsupported span, surface finish, processing time, etc. Nothing here seems particularly impressive from anything other than an aesthetic standpoint.

Further, it seems they're trying to make parametric CAD, the industry standard for the past 30 years, sound impressive to the layperson using buzzwords.
