Lattice scaled stiffness
From apm
In force applying mechanosynthesis
(when assuming one synthesizes the same material that the tool-tip is made out of)
the critical material property to look at is lattice scaled stiffness not just plain stiffness.
A bigger amplitude of thermal vibrations of a tool-tip in positional assembly is not critical
as long as the space between the spots where the block snaps to during deposition is is just big enough.
As long as the lattice spacing is big enough.
