Early stages of Star Trek replicators. We just need to make the nozzles
1 atom wide and have multiple nozles so that we can add layers of
various atomic materials to get the complex objects.

Copyright will them become really tough to enforce. Even the Olympic
committee won't be able to prevent you from printing the 5 rings olympic
symbol, or your own gold medal (assiming you've purchased sufficient
quantity of gold atoms).

Next step is machines that can build any atoms from a vanialla supply of
protons and electrons available from your local hardware store :-)

At that point, you can not only get your "Tea, Ear Grey hot", but also
your own gun, nuclear warhead, or even a perfect replica of a da-vinci
sculpture for your living room.
