Revision as of 18:11, 12 June 2015

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.
