Were can i get the 3d cad model of the ironman suit so i can print this on my 3d printer?

...these printers are not like all the others...they work with liquid photo-polymeric materials that can be used all at the same time to have objects with different properties...the others printers work with one material at once, and it's a mechanical process...here the material is made solid by UV rays, that you see in the video moving in the machine...

I worked with them in a project for my university and I have to say the tecnology is amazing, but it costs a lot aswell...

It's a 3D printer. It print models, layer by layer.
