Description

Metal Additive Manufacturing is enabling a new generation of suppressors that are lighter, stronger, more durable, and faster to develop than conventionally manufactured solutions. This presentation examines how advanced design methodologies, titanium and nickel-based alloys, process qualification, and industrial-scale AM production combine to create sustainable competitive advantages for defense applications. Through the lens of suppressor development, the talk demonstrates how the intersection of design freedom and materials science is shaping the future of metal additive manufacturing in defense.
