Atomically precise small scale factories or gem gum (pocket/desktop) factories for short are the main topic of this wiki.
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.
 A personal desktop gem-gum factory fabblet with dynamically deployed protective hood. |
The personal gem gum factory is:

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) you can imagine how fast this can spread.
Terminology
Note: the term gem gum (pocket/desktop) factory is novelly introduced here in the hope that it avoids the shortcomings of other existing terms that are currently in use.
- Unlike the term nanofactory the term gem gum factory is able to sufficiently characterize what constitutes the device and its products by giving an example . That is doesn't use the not a generic "nano" label and is thus harder to be devoided of its meaning that way by massive off-topic use.
- The term is short enough to stay unabbreviated and so does not loose its meaning that way
- The seeming contradiction between gem and gum hopefully spawns some interest.
- The term its rather catchy with the one letter change
The term gem gum PF could be used as an analogy to the personal computer to highlight its societal aspects.
