Off of the crowded SHOT Show floor, I was lucky enough to have a private meeting with Thermal Defense Solutions, a new suppressor company that is leveraging additive manufacturing processes (3D Printing) to build silencers. The team is ready to bring out four new suppressors that are compact, lightweight, extremely durable and priced comparable to traditionally made silencers.

Previously focused on building rocket engine parts that need to endure harsh temperature changes, the engineers at Thermal Defense Solutions initially started building silencers for military and government entities. Outside of the four models currently available, they have built mission-specific silencers like a light weight polymer suppressor for pilot escape and evasion kits, and a 3D printed aluminum silencer that has extreme temperature control abilities. All models are built in-house and scalable to meet demand.

The below pictured models are pre-production units that have gone through testing, so pattern designs and colors may change. In fact, because the process doesn’t require retooling, surface designs can be changed to add logos or limited edition patterns. Quick detach models are planned for the near future.

Pricing and details can be found below.
