The fabrication bench is used by smiths to create components and advanced components, as well as advanced weapons, power armor and bionic body parts.
Acquisition
The fabrication bench can be constructed once Fabrication has been researched. It requires 
200 Steel, 
12 Components, 
2 Advanced components, 5,000 ticks (1.39 mins) of work, and a Construction skill of 6.
Summary
Once installed, a fabrication bench cannot be moved, only deconstructed.
The following items can be crafted at the fabrication bench.

Skill training
With a great demand for components in most colonies, component assembly is a great way to train colonists' crafting skill, though both types of component have a minimum Crafting requirement. Good smiths provide quality weapons and armor for your colony and are valuable to any colony.
Version history
- 0.18.1722 - Cost was reduced from 400->200 steel and 20->14 components. The skill requirement is also reduced to 8 from 10. The recipe for advanced components has also been added.
- 0.19.2009 - The component assembly bench renamed to fabrication bench alongside a rework. New recipes using it were added. It also now requires advanced components to construct.
