Replicators were originally seen to simply synthesize meals on demand, but in later series much larger non-food items appear.

In simple terms, it was described as a 24th century advancement from the 23rd century "food synthesizer" seen in ''Star Trek: The Original Series''. In Star Trek: The Original Series, food was created in various colored cubes.
