Best theory I have heard bandied around is 'they didn't'

They built one that make anything, so if you put together some ship-parts
and some basic principles...  

Or simply, they didn't, the fabricators make anything, so if _someone_
offers the right 'CAD' program....

There is a plot here from both sides:
....
"But they can't make guns with these fabricators!"
"no... but these fabers can make plasma management conduits in 50cm lengths,
pelettized iron and coat it with graphite, pre-charged class three
superconductor capacitor loops, and extrude biphase pipe in any shape you
like.  Not hard to make guerrilla railguns then, ma'am."
....
"But officer - I'm an engineering student!"
"Its not what you study son, its that you have all this material on data
cards compatible with the commonest type of minifactory we have here.  It'll
be a few hours while our technical AI's analyse what these CAD files all
mean.  Take a seat"
....
