Using custom manufacturing a Wired journalist with no design experience designed his own an electric guitar in eMachineShop and had the parts printed to spec (September 2005, [1]). "Gershenfeld, director of MIT's Center for Bits and Atoms (CBA) ([2] [3]), makes a reasonably good case "that soon every house will have its own personal fabricator". He has already taken an important step - he has shrunk the personal fabricator down to a single room's worth of off-the-shelf tools, all of which are available right now." [4]

  • Using custom manufacturing a Wired journalist with no design experience designed his own an electric guitar in eMachineShop and had the parts printed to spec (September 2005, [1]). "Gershenfeld, director of MIT's Center for Bits and Atoms (CBA) ([2] [3]), makes a reasonably good case "that soon every house will have its own personal fabricator". He has already taken an important step - he has shrunk the personal fabricator down to a single room's worth of off-the-shelf tools, all of which are available right now." [4] Current precision of cutting (Epilog Legend 24TT) and milling (MDX-20) tools is about 25-50 microns. The CBA fabrication labs are already used to produce peculiar one-off individualised devices, such as GPS-enabled tags for sheeps, electrode-driven device to measure the fat content of milk, motion-detector security system to protect a personal diary.
