No, it does not.  It requires a highly automated fabrication facility
with people trained only well enough to do simple tasks.  You could
move the average McDonalds worker into a fab plant and get good results.

Design DOES require education, but production?  Not a chance.  These
aren't manufacturing research test lines, they're production lines. All
you need are semi trainable bodies, a source of power and environmental
laws that aren't enforced.  A few engineers can run the whole thing -
and you can get those engineers from India or China for a pitance.
