An admirably optimistic goal! What you're talking about here is a post-scarcity society like Star Trek, though. And even with machines to turn energy and goo into anything, they couldn't replicate complex machinery like a tricorder - only the individual parts, sometimes.
Good enough for me! I'm not looking for a perfect solution, I can work with incomplete products with weak parts, as long as those parts are readily replaceable
