Circuit Imprinter
This industrial printer requires glass, sulfuric acid, and occasionally gold and diamond. Each board requires different levels of data theory and materials research, and some require specific field advancement, such as biological or blue-space. With gold, you can make AI law modules, or AI related circuit boards. Machine boards can also be built in the Circuit Constructor, including mech suits and power generators.
Protolathe
A Protolathe is a machine used by the Research & Development (R&D)/Science Department to construct many different types of objects. This includes numerous different objects including tools, consumables, machine components and more. One can be found at R&D at the beginning of every round. Which items are available in the Protolathe is determined by the research level the Scientists have reached. The machine uses almost every type of material to construct objects. A list of objects the Protolathe can construct, as well as the material requirements, can be found below.

Exosuit Fabricator
Found in the robotics lab, the exosuit fabricator is used to make (almost) any part you could ever need to make mechs and cyborgs, and can make implants, power cells, and upgrades for all of your robotic needs. It takes in a variety of materials for different upgrades, and syncs with research levels for better equipment. The output direction defaults to south, though this can be changed by using a multitool on it while unwrenched.
