A nano-manipulator with atomic resolution can position work pieces at sub Ångström distances.

Atomic resolution:

Thermal expansion or bending through external forces can spoil atomic resolution in 3D space over great distances. This isn't a problem in nanofactories where relative distances between (sturdy) AP workpieces and (sturdy) AP tooltips are microscopic.
