Replication — Cd

: The glass master is electroplated with nickel to create a durable metal stamper (or "mold").

Manufacturing a replicated CD involves several high-precision industrial steps: cd replication

CD replication is a professional manufacturing process where discs are physically molded from molten plastic using a metal stamper. Unlike CD duplication, which involves burning data onto existing blank discs with a laser, replication creates each disc from scratch with data physically embedded in its structure. The CD Replication Process : The glass master is electroplated with nickel

Choosing between these methods typically depends on quantity and intended use. The CD Replication Process Choosing between these methods

: A protective lacquer is applied, followed by artwork printing (silkscreen or offset) and final packaging. Comparison: Replication vs. Duplication

: A thin reflective layer of aluminum is sputtered onto the disc so it can be read by lasers.

: Molten polycarbonate plastic is pressed against the stamper, physically molding the pits and lands into the disc's surface.
