Keyword: Fabber / Rapid Prototyping
===================================
Rapid Prototyping is the more official term
* Fabbers are universal fabrication machines
* Materialize three-dimensional things from digital data
* Typically by "baking" some amorphous, fine-grained material
Allow for constructing things which are difficult to create
otherwise
* Actually exist
Today: Mostly used for building models
* Fabbers have some interesting features
* Link digital data and material world closely
Bringing the logic of digital data to the material world
* Universal for (parts of) material production
Like computers for information: "One machine to rule them all"
* Allow material production for individual needs
* Industrial robots are equally interesting
.. admonition:: Conclusion
Fabbers transfer important aspects of the digital world to matter
