So if Ford were to publish full schematics for the Perfect under a CC-NC license would it be permissible for a third party to use that in order to offer (commercial, for profit) manufacturing and assembly? Honest question, because I'm not clear where the line for these printers sits.

Off the top of my head (keeping in mind it's years since I last researched this), patent and trademark law are what prevents people cloning someone else's machine from the spec. So unless there are patents, I don't think you'd have a problem.
