Same as molecular manufacturing.

See Molecular manufacturing.

Nanomanufacturing is used to describe either the production of nano scaled materials, which can be powders or fluids, or describe the manufacturing of parts "button up" from nanoscaled materials or "top down" in smallest steps for high precison by several technologis like laser ablation, etching and others. The term is widely used, e.g. by the European Technology Platform http://www.micronanomanufacturing.eu MINAM and the http://nano.gov U.S. National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI).
