Neal Brace, founder of Sintercore LLC and a former US Marine infantryman, has developed the world’s first commercially available 3D printed firearm accessory. What sets Sintercore’s component apart from previous 3D printed firearm designs is that it was manufactured using direct metal laser sintering technology, rather than a plastic 3D printer.
To ensure that their product is safe – for one of the parties involved, at any rate – Sintercore has designed their muzzle brake to be printed in Inconel, a nickel-chromium super alloy that’s traditionally reserved for use in extreme environments like gas turbine blades, supercharger rotors, and F1 and NASCAR exhaust systems. “This material is as strong as steel and as corrosion resistant as titanium,” explains Sintercore’s website.
Currently, Auxtik muzzle brakes can be purchased on pre-order for $299.98. Once the pre-order period is over the 3D printed component will retail for $399.98.
