Well, it seems pretty similar to the concept of 3D printing, albeit expectedly far more advanced.

I'm sure humanity is now advanced enough that they can use machinery to modify things on a microscopic/structure level (Subnautica is one century ahead of our own technology level), thus using natural materials to 'fabricate' advanced objects, as is the name sake.
