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<<.
- For a more general overview please go to the main page.
- For a more technical overview about gem gum factories check out: Design of advanced nanofactories.

What it is and what it does
 A personal desktop gem-gum factory fabblet with dynamically deployed protective hood. |

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
| Caracteristics | Level 0 | Level I | Level II | Level III |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Type of Components | molecular fragments | crystolecules | microcomponents | product fragments |
| Methods for Connection (Physical interfaces) |
covalent bonds | surface interfaces shape locking (Van der Waals sticking) |
(shape locking) Van der Waals sticking simple mechanisms |
advanced auto-align mechanisms |
| Physical Properties | atoms are eternally wear free (for all practical purpouses) |
super lubricating practically wear free strong |
inheriting toughness | emulated properties via metamaterials |
| Examples of Components |
Elements C,H,Si,Ge,... |
basic machine elements basic structural elements |
space filling polyhedra and adapterparts |
muscle motors infinitesimal bearings designed stress strain behaviour power tweakable energy storage thermal switch material air accelerators |
| Size Comparison Model Scale 500.000:1 |
Model atoms have hair diameter | Model components are from the size of a grain of salt to the size of a playing dice |
Model components are the size of a big plant pot |
Model components are the size of a house a soccer court scaled down 1:500.000 is visible by eye - it has the width of a hair |
| Character of Manipulators |
3 tip tricks | conveyor belt assembly | stiff manipulators with parallel mechanics akin to steward plattform |
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? |
| Clean Environment | all mechanosynthesis happens under practically perfect vacuum |
possibly early vacuum lockout of crystolecules | main vacuum lockout of microcomponents | possibly clean-room lockout |
