Some 3d printing channels have tried to FDM print models of this in TPU, but they don't bounce. A PLA print bounced, but as PLA is rigid, it broke after a few impacts. Some have speculated that a very high shore hardness TPU or a mid-range hardness nylon may work better. This technology would be great for public basketball courts and schools, which would be the last to actually get it, but still nice to see 3d printing getting some attention!
