In Engines, Drexler introduced the concept of an "assembler," a robotic device with dimensions of a tenth of a micron (a millionth of a meter) or less, that can pick up and position a reactive molecule so that it interacts with another molecule, as though it were a Lego block snapping into place. 2, record 1, English, - molecular%20assembler

Dans la vision d’Eric Drexler, les «assembleurs moléculaires» sont des dispositifs capables de positionner un atome ou une molécule avec une grande précision et de construire ainsi, atome par atome (ou molécule par molécule), des édifices complexes, que l’on peut appeler nano-machines. 1, record 1, French, - assembleur%20mol%C3%A9culaire

El proceso de fabricación en el que el producto es creado con precisión atómica es denominado nanotecnología molecular o fabricación molecular. La clave de esta capacidad está en el ensamblador molecular, o más correctamente el fabricador molecular, un equivalente de un brazo robótico, pero de tan solo unas decenas de nanómetros de tamaño y de unos pocos millones de átomos. Un ensamblador cogería moléculas o átomos, y guiado por un ordenador, los colocaría con precisión allí donde fuera necesario, construyendo bloques de materia de diferentes formas. 1, record 1, Spanish, - ensamblador%20molecular
