RepRap: Machines building machine parts
The idea is simple: use a rapid prototyping machine to build duplicate machines, (_____) down the cost, and (______) rapid prototyping widely available.
Using manufacturing systems to produce more manufacturing systems is a major goal of molecular (_____), the (_____) form of nanotechnology. But a group at Bath University is working toward that goal today, and they are not even (____) nanotechnology.
RepRap stands for "Replicating Rapid-Prototyper." Rapid (_____) (RP) machines have been under development for the last decade or so. They work a bit like a 3D version of inkjet printers, (_____) out plastic in three-dimensional shapes under direct computer control.
For the most part, RP machines have only been (____) to make inert objects, because they can handle only one kind of material. The advance that's put RepRap on the map is the ability to include metal – wires - in a plastic product. If wires can be (___) in by the computer rather than (____) by hand, then more complex products become easier to build.
Being, purchased, including, used, building, turned, scaling, finished, manufacturing, costing
The RepRap plan requires that the motors, bearings, and computer chips be (____) separately, and a person would need to snap the parts together. Their design is far from (____). But there's no obvious reason why a few hundred dollars of motors, chips, and plastic goop couldn't be (___) into an RP machine (_____) many thousands of dollars today--and the new machine, (_____) inexpensive, could be (____) to build a wide range of consumer goods that today need large factories to produce them economically.
Molecular manufacturing has several important advantages over RepRap or any other large-scale manufacturing system. (____) laws mean that small machines can be many times more powerful than large machines. And (____) with atomic precision lets you take advantage of several physics tricks (____) superlubricity, zero-wear sliding surfaces, and automatic maintenance of precision in (____) operations.
Shared, replaced, making, unreasoning, uncontrolled, supplied, creating, manufacturing, associated
Several advantages are (____) between RepRap and molecular manufacturing.
The three most important aspects of such a self-copying rapid-prototyping machine are that:
1. The number of them in existence and the wealth they produce can grow exponentially,
2. The machine becomes subject to development by artificial selection.
3. The machine creates wealth with a minimal need for industrial (______)
The word (______) in the second point was "evolution." This is because molecular manufacturing has become incorrectly (____) with runaway evolution and (_______) self-replication. Let's be clear: both RepRap and nanofactories will only build duplicates on command, and only according to the blueprints that are (_______).
Even if RepRap succeeds in (_____) the structural and electrical components of an RP machine, it will have lower performance than a molecular manufacturing system simply because droplets of plastic are far larger and less precise than molecules. But RepRap is a good start. If nothing else, a familiar human-scale machine (_____) useful duplicate machines will help to mitigate the (______) resistance to the idea that a nanoscale machine could do the same.
