Molecular Manufacturing vs. Self-Assembly 
Responsible Nanotechnology | by Chris Phoenix | Wed, Jan 27
Self-assembly is already using templates, and templated self-assembly is pretty darn close to molecular manufacturing. Once the templates become programmable and are built using the same processes and building blocks that they guide... then that is molecular manufacturing.

Opinion: Complex Nanotube Circuits
1) Grow the nanotubes on a separate substrate, then stamp them onto the circuit. This lets the circuit stay at low temperatures. By contrast, nanotubes are single, precise molecules being assembled to build up useful larger systems. This is a lot closer to the original meaning of the word.
