I saw an article on this and looked at the website. Anyone know anything about it?

Don't know about brake, but do know industry is heading the way of 3-D printing. The machine shop technologies program here has incorporated 3D printing into curriculum, and we were strongly encouraged to take it.
The design is very similar to a Battlecomp. I expect it probably performs similarly, as well.
I say give credit where credit is due and take your money to Battlecomp instead. It's really annoying how many companies are ripping off their designs nowadays.
I understand that a lot of 'whiz bang' went into creating this muzzle device, but that price tag is absolutely asinine. All these non suppressor muzzle devices getting more and more clever at simply costing more (to tame the prodigious 5.56 recoil) is kind of funny to me. I'll stick with my MI FH/comp combo device for $30, a tenth of the price, that I have been completely happy with so far.
The Triple Tap started it with their $400 inconel adapter/compensator. People bought them, and thought they were great compensators.. so others followed suit with less expensive, but still way more expensive than anything else before, devices.
The BattleComp is rather expensive, but it does work well. I've been using them since they came out. They did promise, back when they were released, to reduce the price substantially once they got all of their startup costs covered... I suspect that promise has been conveniently forgotten.
It's just a matter of time until someone puts out a combat-specific comp that works as well as the TT, BC, BCM devices for $40 and runs everyone else out of town, in my opinion.
$300 for this one? Will be interesting to see who buys it.
The hottest load I've shot so far in my AR is Lake City 62 gr. 5.56 green tip and I've yet to find the recoil even slightly punishing - so where's the need for a compensator?
And yes, need isn't always a part of the shooting equation, I get it, but what purpose does a compensator serve for such an easy recoil rifle?
Does it provide an edge for precision shooting or ...?
Thanks!
If this is a copy of BC, then BC is a copy of the KAC Triple Tap.
It would be nice to see a comparison of the BC, KAC TT, and this Auxetik. I will say its a 3D printed masterpiece and very cool. I am not spending this kind of money for either a KAC/Auxetik though.
EDIT: Wow, lots of posts quickly. I wonder about the strength of 3D printed items. Anyone know?
