bradders Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 I was at the MACH 2016 machinery show last week and met the company who supplied the printer for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisF Posted April 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 Talked to the designer , about his QD locking version , and the muzzle brake part is CNC made from hard SS 15-5 PH , then the printed can mounts onto it , looks good , they will be available soon , I want one to put on my PH M85 & maybe the RPR . Being light , they will suit those 2 rifles well . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1066 Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 Was it only last year that the media got it's panties in a twist because someone printed a single shot plastic pistol that looks like it was made of Lego? The way and speed this technology is moving is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meles meles Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 Not quite oomans, not quite. The technology in metal as opposed to plastic has been around for a while but it is only recently that it is being publicly talked about. There are four of those machines in the Sett workshop and they spend most of their time growing aerospace and medical components. The aerospace components are certified for flight and the medical components are now beginning to be implanted. When you consider how long certifications for both regimes takes, you'll realise it's not a new technology. The difference is that the early adopters of the technique have proven the benefits, locked down the manufcaturing process, got their patents in place and so now feel able to be a little more free with information. We'd wager that most of you who have flown in the last 5 years have done so on an aircraft carrying several printed parts, in some cases several hundred parts...
