      Well yes, it can, but it requires power. Vast amounts of energy. It’s still about the energy, even in the distant future, because I swear to the prophets, it never ends. It just doesn’t stop not stopping.

        If you have Industrial Replicators though, you have the power to power them. Or maybe not, maybe Bajor didn’t have the infrastructure to power them, and Star Fleet sent them with giant, but limited batteries

      Yeah that would work assuming there isn’t a part that is one single large part. I am thinking like a big side panel or support structure.

      I guess you weld parts together after the replication.
