Replication (optical media)

Replication (optical media)

In optical disc manufacturing, replication is the process of producing discs via methods that do not involve burning blank CD, DVD or other discs; the latter is called "duplication".

The replication of optical discs involves:
# the creation of a glass master from a client original master.
# the creation of a nickel stamper from that glass master.
# the injection molding of clear optical-grade polycarbonate substrates (clear discs) from that stamper.
# the metallizing and lacquering of those substrates to produce compact discs and DVDs.
