I recently saw the video below, and this is the first time I've seen a 3D printer of this type:

Is there a particular name/category for this kind of 3D printing?
It seems like it could be espeecially useful for creating structures in outer space. I was thinking that printing such curvilinear segments could be useful in creating ribbing for pressure vessels. Alternatively, printing linear segments could be used to make truss or lattice structures.
Could there be a way to improve this printing technology by embedding in carbon composite fibers to increase tensile strength? If so, then how could it be done?
Are there any DIY projects out there for building a printer of this type?
