what do humanity need to invent a machine that can create any thing we think about?

I mean a machine that can end our need to work to get money, if i need a fan it can create it, if i need i car it can create it, if i need hamburger it can, i know it is too complex but i don't find it something impossible, a machine that can build staffs from cheaper and available staffs , is this possible or just a science fiction created by my mind?

A number of machines and sciences we take for granted was engineered off of Star Trek gadgets.

A 'Replicator' could do what you suggest in theory. Although they weren't specific on whose doing the test. Scientists have created one. They managed to make a cup of water out of thin air. The water not a cup. The rub is the energy needed to create just that was too much to make it practical for every day use. One day maybe.
