My take on the press release is that they're announcing a collaboration between two companies.

Lithoz uses photopolymerization to 3-D print a variety of ceramics, and is in the business of selling 3-D printers.

Glassomer makes the "ink" - they've got a few patents on silica + binder dating back to 2016.

All of this is similar to many things that have been done in the scientific literature (e.g. Nature Materials volume 20, pages 1506–1511 (2021)). They've put it into production and made it purchasable.

I'm not up on state-of-the-art, so I'm not sure if this has any features that differentiate it from competitors. I'm not seeing any surprises.
