"Is it open source? No... this design is so revolutionary that I had to patent it to protect my IP. This design has the potential to change the 3D printing industry. It affords many benefits that make it stand out above all other 3d printers."
It's not a new design at all, one of the first Reprap prototypes was a polar printer circa 2006 and there have been several other attempts at it since. Of course, because of the variable accuracy (least accurate away from the center) they don't usually get much use.
