A microfactory refers to a small dimension factory able to produce small dimension products. The term was proposed by the Mechanical Engineer Laboratory (MEL) of Japan in 1990.[1] The microfactory main advantages are to save great amount of resources like space, energy, materials and time.[2]

Due to their reduced dimensions, microfactories should be highly automated. They might contain automatic machine tools, assembly systems, quality inspection systems, material feed systems, waste elimination systems, a system to evaluate tool deterioration and a system to replace tools.[3]

At least one proposed microfactory is being designed to make many of its own parts, i.e., is a partially self-replicating machine.[4]

Local Motors has microfactories in Phoenix, Ariz. and Knoxville, Tenn.[5] The company builds its signature products, like the Rally Fighter prerunner sports car right in its microfactories.
