TFB Behind the Gun #201: James from Zer0 & Sons 3D Printed Suppressors
3D printing has come a long way from the early days of ridiculously expensive machines and low-fidelity, weak PLA prints. While the price of some of these machines is still pretty astronomical, some of the most advanced machines are still affordable enough to make them more than just curiosities, and people like James from Zer0 & Sons have been able to invest enough capital into a few machines to make a business out of it. Fellow TFB Writer Giorgio O. passed along a neat snippet of an article that James had written about how additive manufacturing (3D printing) can, and has, changed the suppressor industry. Today you’ll get to hear me pick James’ Brian about his approach to this unique technology, and how he’s leveraged it to make one of the industry's most affordable 3D Printed suppressors.

TFB Behind the Gun #201: James from Zer0 & Sons 3D Printed Suppressors
Today’s guest is James from Zer0 & Sons, a new crew that’s using 3D printing to squeeze way more performance out of modern suppressors and way less money out of your wallet. By printing in metal instead of sticking to old‑school machining, they can make cans that are lighter, tougher, and shaped inside in ways you just can’t do any other way, and also get the price down to something akin to the cost of a new rifle or handgun, rather than the latest bougie 2011. That means better gas flow, less blast to your ears, and gear that actually feels good to run on the guns people use every day at a price that most of us can afford. Please give a warm welcome to the founder of Zer0 & Sons, James!
