© 2007, Zyvex Labs, LLC 26 Zyvex Labs Vision Lead the commercialization of adaptable, affordable, atomically precise manufacturing. Creating the final step in precision manufacturing… Hand-crafting (blacksmith) Precision mass-manufacture (Ford) Semiconductor lithography (Intel) Atomically Precise Manufacturing (Zyvex Labs)
27
© 2007, Zyvex Labs, LLC 27 Atomic Precision Roadmap from 1983
28
© 2007, Zyvex Labs, LLC 28 Atomically Precise Manufacturing Manufacturing physical objects by putting (nearly) every atom where it was designed to go – positionally-controlled chemistry Apparent end-point of Industrial Revolution: the ultimate manufacturing precision Disruptive cost advantages: low-cost factory, highly- differentiated but low-cost products Faster time-to-market: software controls manufacturing, leading to fast setup time, quick turns, customized products Long-term environmental impact: clean, green (“nature’s way” of manufacturing)
29
© 2007, Zyvex Labs, LLC 29 What does APM do? Enables the manufacture of materials and structures at the atomic or molecular size scale. Integrates the knowledge and cost structure of low-cost high- volume chemistry with the knowledge and manufacturing flexibility of engineered systems (treating matter as software). Results in a disruptive and enabling manufacturing technology that achieves extremely low cost, yet highly customizable products. Possibility of doing this demonstrated by every living thing: we molecularly transform material from food into ourselves. Green plants do this via solar power.
