The three axes
Taken as a loose transcript from an interview with Neil Gershenfeld.
Axis1: Scales
Similar processes across scales
naono-micro-meso-macro
Axis2: Tools
- 10 x 1Mio$ – research tools
- 10 x 100k$ – workshop tools – to make the machines
- 10 x 10k$ – 3D printer and lasercutters – to make projects => how to make almost anything class and fablabs
- 10 x 1k$ – machines made with the machines that can virally reproduce (RepRaps)
Axis3: Nature of manufacturing
Computers controlling machines
First CNC mill 1952 MIT
(Digital manufacturing I think)
Rapid prototyping of rapid prototyping
Rather than picking a machine compose the machine.
- number of axes
- open-loop / closed-loop (sensors or not I suppose)
- additive / subtractive
Machines keep changing with projects.
Still print and cut (and big machine modules to compose I suppose).
Assembling and disassembling
- MicroLEGO
- Modular carbon fiber structures
Digi-key in stock: 500k types of Transistors, 500k types of Capacitors, 500k types of Inductors
"Assembler" can make all these out of 3 parts (seems questionable …) (not referring to molecular assemblers here obviously)
Make anything from just 20 parts
Different machines and supply chains merged in just one machine.
(Digital control over matter I think)
Programmable materials (why this name?)
Assemblers assembling assemblers (not necessarily nanoscale). Self replicating machines.
Machines go away. Life in inorganic materials.
Thoughts to this
