SAN FRANCISCO — For some time, the fab tool industry has seen a wave of consolidation. The big are getting bigger. Some of the smaller and weaker players are getting gobbled up by the larger players.

“You can think of this as the next step in personal computing,” said UCSB professor Jennifer Jacobs, whose research explores more intuitive, responsive digital fabrication systems. The boundary ...
