Claim:
1. An automated fabrication system for making on-demand physical objects, comprising: a processor in communication with one or more automated fabrication equipment, the processor executing a program stored on a non-transient computer readable memory, the program for parsing machine-independent instructions specified in natural language, wherein the machine-independent instructions specified in natural language construct a desired object; the program for parsing machine-independent instructions comprising the steps of: the processor transmits the program command sequences to the one or more automated fabrication equipment, wherein the one or more automated fabrication equipment each include a controller that executes the program command sequences to fabricate the desired object; the one or more automated fabrication equipment comprising one or more input containers, one or more reaction chambers, and a robotic arm or pump; the one or more input containers each contain matter used to construct the desired object; the one or more reaction chambers each conduct a chemical, electrical, or mechanical reaction on the matter to process the matter; the robotic arm or pump moves the matter between the one or more input containers and the one or more reaction chambers; and the robotic arm or pump moves the processed matter between the one or more reaction chambers and one or more output devices to output the desired object.
