This article defines a novel term (that is hopefully sensibly chosen). The term is introduced to make a concept more concrete and understand its interrelationship with other topics related to atomically precise manufacturing. For details go to the page: Neologism.
This article is a stub. It needs to be expanded.

Atomically precise small scale factories or gem gum factories for short are the main topic of this wiki.
A survey of alternative names that where used or are newly proposed can be found >>here<<.

What it is and what it does

A personal desktop gem-gum factory fabblet with dynamically deployed protective hood.

The personal gem gum factory is:

  • Your personal device that can push out virtually every thing* of your daily use.
    (* at least every inedible thing)

The personal gem gum factory makes:

  • Your products that are as cheap as the abundant mining-free raw materials that it processes.
  • Your products that are far superior to today's best and ridiculously expensive high tech products.
  • Your products potentially in an environmentally friendly effluent free way
    (also advanced recycling is faster than producing from scratch)
Graphical Infosheets: [1] (work in progress)

Self replication

Beside uesful products a personal fabricator can quickly produce copies of itself and that without any special raw materials thus you can make copies for all of your friends and they can make copies for all of their friends. Since everyone is linked to every other person on earth through a low number of acquaintanceships wikipedia: six degrees of separation (well not entirely true) you can imagine how fast this can spread.

Stage step table

You may meander through this table in two ways:

  • size wise column by column including all the repeating processing steps (including the assembly levels) and/or
  • type wise row by row showing how the chosen aspect of the processing chain changes with scale
Caracteristics Level 0 Level I Level II Level III
Type of Components Molecular fragments
wanted: versatile abundant and nontoxic elements 		Crystolecules
wanted: standard building blocks (mass produced "nuts and bolts") 		Microcomponents
wanted: reusable units (possibly indivisible) 		Product fragments
wanted: composable metamaterials
Examples for typical Components Fragments of simple compounds CH4, CO2, ... including at least some basic elements: C,H,Si,Ge,...

Crystolecules:

  • basic machine elements
  • basic structural elements

Microcomponents:

  • space filling polyhedra
  • adapter-parts
  • muscle motors
  • infinitesimal bearings
  • designed stress strain behaviour
  • power tweakable energy storage
  • thermal switch material
  • air accelerators
Comprehensible size comparison model scale 500.000:1 Model atoms have the diameter of an average human hair (0.1mm) Model components are from the size of a grain of salt to the size of a playing dice (1mm-16mm) Model components are the size of a big plant pot (~50cm) Model components are the size of a house (~16m). A 50m wide soccer court scaled down 1:500.000 is visible by eye - it has the width of a human hair.
Physical Properties (strength, wear, friction and more) atoms are eternally wear free
(for all practical purpouses) 		inheriting toughness emulated properties via metamaterials
Methods for Connection
(Physical interfaces) 		covalent bonds advanced auto-align mechanisms
Character of Manipulators fast mass production/preparation in stiff molecular mills
(employing 3 tip tricks) 		conveyor belt assembly stiff manipulators with parallel mechanics akin to steward platform conventional factory robot arms with serial mechanics
Distribution / Logistics moiety routing:
even for basic hydrocarbon handling quite complex 		major rail routing station:
fail safe producer and consumer for redundancy 		minor rail routing station no routing?
Airlocks and clean keeping all mechanosynthesis happens under practically perfect vacuum possibly early vacuum lockout of crystolecules main vacuum lockout of microcomponents possibly clean-room lockout

(TODO: add miniature images and links to table)
