Nanofabrication

Utility

Nanofabrication is the production of parts and components on a molecular scale, so it is useful in generating miniaturized electronics, building large-scale perfect crystals, and constructing objects from component resources without requiring all the intermediate production steps.

Manufacturing

Nanofabricator components are often built by other nanofabricators.

Social Impact

Nanofabrication has driven down the cost of manufacturing equipment and recycling materials.

Access & Availability

Nanofabrication is available on highly developed worlds with access to a wide range of elements.

Complexity

Nanofabrication requires advanced electrical hardware and miniaturized components. It is a relatively new technology on the cutting edge of industry.
