CD and DVD Replication: Replication is the method used to produce quantities one thousand and up CD's or DVD's. A "glass master" of your original is made which in turn "stamps" the data onto blank media. The disc is then printed and lacquered for protection. Replication generally takes a much longer time then duplication because of the necessary added steps which can add 7-14 days for completion. Another factor is that a "clean room" environment must be maintained for proper "Mastering". The slightest piece of lint, dirt, etc. can flaw the master, with the defect carried over to the stamped copies.
CD and DVD Duplication
Duplication is the standard way quantities of 1 - 30,000 CD's or DVD's are produced. The original disc is placed in a reader, which then copies the data onto a hard drive. The master is ejected and blank discs are then loaded into the system. Your data is burned (transferred) to the blank discs. The information is verified and the copy then accepted or rejected. Because disc burn speed has increased greatly over the years, it is now possibly to duplicate large quantities of DVD's in a very short time.
At the same time, our visions of the future have developed a number of nightmares in recent decades, and it's these we often recycle: The robotic terror, the biological terror, the rogue AI, the grey goo.
Are these really any less naive than giant radioactive ants, Mothra, and alien invasions?

Experimenting with different layer sizes on the Bowden Replicator. Layers sizes from the left at 8 microns, 10 microns, and 20 microns. I'm still working out the correct feed rates and speeds for these settings. It looks like 10 microns is possible, and 8 microns might be a little bit too greedy.
