Personal Nanofactories

Thank you for visiting and supporting Personal Nanofactories. Personal nanofactories refer to a proposed system in which nanomachines (with tiny industrial robot arms) combine reactive molecules to build ever larger and atomically precise parts – not visible to the human eye. These, in turn, would be assembled by positioning mechanisms of assorted sizes to then build visible but still atomically-precise products.

A typical personal nanofactory would fit in a desktop box. For an illustration of such a device, please see the video below. If and when personal nanofactories are built, many predict a severe disruption to the world economy because the old economy based on scarcity would be gone, and the new economy in which the input after raw materials (like toner) is basically just intelligent software.  The debate is now less on if the nanofactory can be built, but how to best disperse nanofactories throughout the world. Great benefits would be available if we make the right decisions.
