DD WAVE - The First 3-D Printed Suppressor By Daniel Defense

[docsherm]

This looks interesting.

If this technology works I would hope that the prices would drop quit a bit.

I agree, as more companies start developing their own products the price should come down. I have looked at the delta b brevis many times, but I just can't justify it for the price right now.

3D printed to boot. That's cool as hell.

The First 3-D Printed Suppressor By Daniel Defense, or the First 3-D Printed Suppressor, By Daniel Defense?

Has to be first made by Daniel Defense, there are other 3d printed cans out there already.

Who else makes 3D printed cans? For a long time 3D printed metal structures were similar in composition to MIM (molded injected metal) and while suitable for some applications, high pressure and force scenarios produced failures. I'm interested to see how these suppressors hold up for the long term. Hard to beat stellite for baffle material.

See my comment above, the delta p brevis is one of a whole lineup. You can use powdered stellite or inconel just like stainless or titanium. I believe you can also change metals through the can, so having a stellite blast baffle, and changing material on the end for weight savings for example.

Never heard of delta p brevis. Little in regards to overall specification and performance are provided on their website.

Thats a very innovative lightweight can and they claim good sound reductions. The Acme connect system also allows easy connect disconnect from the brake. You also detach the baffles and exo 1 piece design and keep the quick connect and brake with you since serial # is on the attachment not the can in case you need repairs. They had it in display at the NRA convention.

^^This exactly.

The video shows a laser sintering printing process, so I had a chuckle when he states that there are no welds in it (the whole thing is welded from powder).

I am still waiting for somebody to figure out a replacement for grain structure in metal, that is the biggest hurdle for printed metals. IIRC there is all ready a printed 1911 that has shot quite a few rounds so far, but just the thought of rifle pressures of 60k PSI and printed metal makes me nervous to be around it. I am looking forward to how this holds up.

A buddy has the 5.56 Brevis can for his 10.3" Colt 6945 SBR. It is incredibly light for its internal volume and size. We shot side by side for a couple mags and I could not discern any difference from his and my 11.5" with Specwar K 556 can. I think they are a step in the right direction but I am not a fan of direct thread and they do cost a pretty penny.

Discussed this with my fellow employees.

I think 3d printing suppressors is awesome.

But I would rather have machined parts.

and this is coming from someone who often works on rocket engine parts that were printed/machined.


I just think it's cool to show how useless gun control has become.

Good to hear feedback from someone who has actually used one, there doesn't appear to be a whole lot of them out in the wild, at least on the commercial side.
