3D printed suppressor for sale
« on: October 31, 2017, 01:03:20 PM »
Daniel Defense is making a pair of suppressors that are 3D printed Inconel, stainless steel, and titanium. The new baffle design is supposed to work better than simpler style baffles. The baffles and tube are a single piece of Inconel so there are no welds that could possibly break. They're good for anything from 5.56 to .300 Win Mag. and come in a quick-detach and a direct-thread version. https://danieldefense.com/wave

Wonder how long it takes to print each suppressor?

Now if we just got them off the NFA list.

Nice unit, but at basically a grand for the standard thread-on, plus the $200 tax...... I think I'll pass.

I don't want to buy anything that requires more paperwork than a regular firearm purchase. The government has too much information on me as is. Michigan has had handgun registration for over 100 years and I don't like the state knowing what I have. I don't want to be on one more government list.

Ok I had to look.  This is not a material that will run in a table top 3D printer.  This is printed in a printer that uses a laser to weld the material together.  The Engineer in me is thrilled to know the technology exists and has been around for a while.  Another side of me is both gad and sad to see that this is cost prohibitive printing technology. There will not be the fight about 3D printing suppressor parts.  They will be able to make some new designs and learn more about the flow and effect of the gasses moving through the suppressor but this is not coming to a garage near you any time soon. 

Boo

Also we do not need another technology stopped from stupid fear.

It works just like the if cured resins.  You have a  box full of highly powdered metal. A laser melts said powder in very small layers.  After each layer a very thin layer of metal powder is applied, repeat.  Just look on YouTube for metal 3d printer.  You will find one.

Aw, heck...that is way cool.  I read the product brochure but I need to see the comparison on sound levels with other manufacturers.  They really should be able to add design tweaks that are either impossible or near impossible to achieve with regular machining. 

**-Later note:  Disappointingly, reviews I read indicated the noise reduction was sub-par compared to other models.

Well, that sucks. They said, "Typically Reduces a 5.56 round by 30dB & 300BLK by 40dB, depending on barrel length and environmental conditions". I don't know how that compares to other suppressors. If they need to modify the design to make it work better that would be easy enough.

You would think so, wouldn't you?

It's not like they have to make a new set of dies to stamp out different baffles or anything. A little change to the program and it's ready to go. It seems like they could design it to work better than any other suppressor.
