You have to get materials for the replicators to make things some way, don't you?
Replicator exist in this setting, which are seemingly capable of making everything from food to weapons, so presumably the original material isn't needed.
This is the plot of The Prestige, and to some extent of the survival horror game Soma.
Actual teleportation is a legit property of quantum mechanics (e.g. in a real transporter you're not killed/cloned -- but "you" do cease to exist for some x period of time). Also a teleporter doesn't need a 'Heisenberg compensator': you want the data to maintain its superposition.
The only caveat is the teleportation must be at or slower than speed of light.
Probably my favorite Schwarzenegger film.
This is the struggle session that launches a million "a sufficiently high fidelity copy of a person is literally the same person" takes, which often conveniently require the original person to die to maintain that "literally the same person" take. If the person didn't "go anywhere" and was told "congratulations, you teleported! Now kindly step into the biomass recycler because literally you is already at the destination" I don't blame that original from not going quietly.
