Design of a Primitive Nanofactory

Abstract:

Molecular manufacturing requires more than
mechanochemistry. A single nanoscale fabricator cannot
build macro-scale products. This paper describes the
mechanisms, structures, and processes of a prototypical
macro-scale, programmable nanofactory composed of many
small fabricators. Power requirements, control of
mechanochemistry, reliability in the face of radiation
damage, convergent assembly processes and joint
mechanisms, and product design are discussed in detail,
establishing that the design should be capable of
duplicating itself. Nanofactory parameters are derived
from plausible fabricator parameters. The pre-design of
a nanofactory and many products appears to be within
today's capabilities. Bootstrapping issues are discussed
briefly, indicating that nanofactory development might
occur quite soon after fabricator development. Given an
assembler, a nanofactory appears feasible and worthwhile,
and should be accounted for in assembler policy
discussions. . . .
