Article Abstract:
'Fabber' or, the fabricating machine would soon be available for ordinary people for home-fabbing of low cost items like electric toothbrushes, toys, decorative items, etc.. Just like a desk top printer using ink cartridges, a desk top fabber will use cartridges containing the necessary raw materials to create the desired items.
