Molecular manufacturing is the use of nanoscale machines to build products of comparable or greater complexity. Molecular manufacturing requires these capabilities:

  • Atomic precision
  • High reliability
  • Nanoscale features
  • Products can be designed/engineered

Several technologies may be able to accomplish this. The most well-known is carbon-lattice machines, as described by Eric Drexler in his book Nanosystems.

Perhaps due to warnings from various sources of various dangers should molecular manufacturing be developed, the idea has attracted vocal and powerful opposition. See below for articles exploring the feasibility of the technology, the predicted power of the technology, and the possible effects if it works as claimed.
