Abstract
Systems and methods for mechanosynthesis including those that avoid the need for a bootstrap process, avoid the need to build tips via mechanosynthesis, avoid the need for charging tips with feedstock during a build sequence, avoid the need to dispose of reaction byproducts, reduce the design complexity of new tips, and reduce or avoid the need for multiple positional means or tip switching.
