Report highlights Additive Manufacturing opportunities in small arms silencer market
September 17, 2024
Additive Manufacturing Research (AM Research), a provider of industry analysis, forecasting and data for the AM sector, has published a new market study titled “Additive Manufacturing of Small Arms Silencers: An AM Market Opportunity”. This report, built on proprietary market data, analyses the history of the market with respect to Additive Manufacturing development and adoption, considers the state of the silencers market today, and addresses the global opportunity it presents for AM market gains.
A growing emphasis in the AM industry has been on developing use cases for real-world solutions in established industries. Small arms manufacturing has proven that it’s an area willing to adopt new processes and means of production, though specific areas of this industry have not seen significant technology innovation in manufacturing, states the report. Silencer manufacturing is one such area that has relied on subtractive machining processes — turning, lathe, and CNC milling — since their original inception.
In 2017, AM Research published a similar market perspective on additively manufactured silencers. That report discussed several market factors and trends which are still present in the market today. This current report describes the history, markets and future outlook for the silencer market with respect to the development and increasing adoption of Additive Manufacturing.
Market data, penetration rates and forecasting are built using proprietary modelling and existing AM Research market data and deepened and contextualised by exhaustive research and direct interviews with several industry players.
Companies and organisations mentioned or profiled include: Sig Sauer, EOS, Tronrud Engineering, Oceana Defense, Delta P Design, RAM3D, Daniel Defense, Surefire, HuxWurx, PWS, Dead Air, CGS, Radical Firearms, and the US Military.
