If I recall correctly...
Star Trek style "replicator" technology is right out. Fenspace doesn't have matter-energy-matter manipulation of any sort.
Nanotechnology is slightly retarded as to where one would think it would be, because Noah Scott lived up to his billing of "richest S.O.B in space" and took the relevant information out of the Whole Fenspace Catalog before publication. StellviaCorp has an edge here, because Noah isn't just sitting on that information, but there's only so much that a minor faction can do on their own.
"Instant prototypers" and other 3-D printers are advanced because of handwavium - see JFerio's post for why. They aren't "instant", although they're faster than the state-of-the-rat in OTL.
Old-fashioned assembly lines are limited to the folks who do that for a living (e.g. Hephaestus) or really big factions (pretty much the Big Six). Most of those concentrate on shipbuilding.
