Nanomachine construction

[fredreload]

After thinking about it for a while, aside from the nanofactory idea. I think you can construct things with nanomachines. The advantage is that if you can get nanomachine to the right place with computer guided assistance and place the material there. Sort of like a pickup item and drop technique. Then with Google's suggestion is to scan the structure with light that can pass through objects. Then you can use the nanomachine to repair or build objects. Although I don't think you can get nanomachine to move in between molecular bonds. So it has to go with a layer by layer bases. It would be more efficient than nanofactory in this case, picking up an item and delivering it to the correct place using nanomachine would be a challenge
