Pioneer Station is a large facility and needs constant upkeep. It can't keep all the parts that could possibly be needed for repairs in its stores, instead it has its own manufacturing facility that allows it to fabricate just about anything from scratch using a combination of 3D printing and CNC. The FMAL (Fabrication Machine Assembly Line) is located in the lower reaches of the station and is mostly automated, with the crew able to program in whatever they need from a massive library of standard components. It can also create bespoke items which is particularly handy for the research team who often need specific containers or tools to handle geological or biological samples from the planets in the Gliese-876 system.
The FMAL is the latest release in our 28mm SF series of scenery sets that make up Pioneer Station. It consists of a Fabrication Machine, robot arm, and series of conveyor belt units. Multiple sets can be combined to make a larger factory unit, and you could add command consoles or control desks from the Command Center or Research Lab to create a control area (as we have in the picture below).
