Not nano-tech as such, but milli / micro -scale reconfigurable matter. Will be perfect for what rapid prototyping is currently used for, but instead of having to make a new model every time something changes, the model simply morphs to the new shape. Have thought about this concept before but never come to any firm conclusions about how it might be made to work practically. However recently came across this [http://news.zdnet.co.uk/emergingtech/0,1000000183,39287749,00.htm?r=1 video clip] (second half) where Babu Pillai describes his research in this area [http://www.pittsburgh.intel-research.net/people/pillai.html].

Additive fabrication advantages

  • Continuously varying material - Objet has already
  • Colour (Z-Corp)
  • Geometry impossible using any other process.
  • 3D internal patterning
  • True multimaterial (to come)
  • Complex objects can be made as cheaply as simple ones
  • No labour
