3-D printed suppressors are starting to be made. West Fork Armory (SOT) manufactures and demonstrates a 3-D printed suppressor.

That's really interesting! I found a link that had a little more information about this. Here it is:

A company in New Zealand has been making .308 3D printed suppressors (using laser sintered Ti powder) for years.

[ah, and at the bottom of that 2nd article they talk about the laser sintered ones]

I wondered how long before someone did that... plastic so it basically disposable. I wonder how many rounds it is good for before it melts or deteriorates to unusable? I mean, you can make one out of an oil filter and $20 adapter already, so it is already pretty easy to get around the regulations if someone wants to bad enough and wants to risk the feds making your life a living hell.

I would be interested to see if you could 3d print a lost wax plug for casting a baffle stack.
