My understanding when I interviewed Steve Cook was that Patterns and DSLs are two of the components that could play a part in a software factory, and that models - while also a potential component - are not mandatory. Would be good to get Steve's own take on this, though!

The most essential component of a software factory is a software factory schema. This describes precisely what artifacts the factory deals with and how they are related. A software factory could, for example, be driven from wizards and explorers. A factory will be prepopulated with assets that instantiate the schema; the factory user will add new assets, modify the supplied ones, and where they are transformations, apply them. Models are nice, but not essential.

mode-less
or model-less [obviously the latter, but it confused me on first reading].
