• Intro: Here is a detailed introduction to atomically precise manufacturing as a whole.
• The DAPMAT demo project

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)

The existence of a personal fabricator will have profound impact on global human society. The basis for such a personal fabricator - the atomically precise manufacturing (APM) technology - is beginning to be figured out today.

Guided Tour

A general introduction to atomically precise manufacturing. It is meant for a wide target audience ranging from newbie to expert and from young to old. It is still a far stretch from being in a somewhat coherent state so please excuse the links dangling into construction sites.
