cloning machine

Makes identical copies

A cloning machine is a device, real or imagined, that produces genetic duplicates of organisms.

In science fiction, cloning machines create copies of humans or animals rapidly and dramatically.

In biotechnology, the term loosely describes laboratory equipment used in actual cloning processes, though real cloning involves complex biological procedures rather than a single machine: The mad scientist activated his cloning machine.
