Some possible computer generated ideas:
 
Shown above are a few views of a computer generated bearing.  The goal now is to assemble a molecular bearing using these "blueprints."



Here is a computer simulation of what a gear might look like.



Actual progress

Here is a computer generated photo of the IBM logo which was the first step towards nanotechnology.  It was created using the ATM and STM.
