This needs to be on an episode of how it's made. That's some awesome machinery. Been wanting one since release as my first can. Really cool always curious about this stuff. I work at a chemical plant we use all sorts of PPE mask, air supplied suits ect. You guys didn't cheap out on equipment that's pretty cool. We get the bare minimum 😀
The sound on the flow 556k is awesome! I can only imagine that this technology in a non-k configuration would be even more insane. The being said, BRING ME A FULL SIZE VERSION!!
Just ordered the FLOW 762 Ti. Suppressingly, it seems that it actually works better on a 5.56 than the FLOW 556k. That’s possibly the full size version you were looking for, and it’s way more versatile!
I’ve got a bit of machining experience and a ton of 3D printing experience, couldn’t tell you exactly what I just saw go down but I’d love to work for you and learn!!
Looks like it’s essentially 714 stainless steel powder which is laser welded layer by layer in a batch to form the suppressors, the machine then rotates to allow the unwelded powder to fall out, then compressed air to blow out the remaining powder.think of it like resin 3D printing rather than filament extruded methods.
No, they would need to replace the suppressor. Also, not sure how that works as far as the ATF is concerned when it comes to transferring a new suppressor to you. Would be terrible to have to wait for another form 4 to be approved. SIG 3D printed suppressors have a cut line so they can reprint the baffle section and keep the same serial number. There's a reason why HUXWRX is selling alignment rods now that they are ramping up 3D printing. Priced a lot lower than Surefire/Geissele alignment rods too so no reason not to get one....
My understanding is... If you kill it you send it back. They make another one with tue same numbers. And officially destroy the old damaged one. No sure if that is true but I have read it in a few places.
Definitely reparable, chop end, core out, weld in new core and end. It is illegal to apply serial numbers from one can to another even if the original is being destroyed, it would have to be replaced and a new form 4.
This process is wild! In the video it only takes seconds because it's a time lapse, but how long does it take IRL to make a batch of these? I know you can't share any secrets about the process, but just wondering. I love watching stuff like this. I'm assuming the process is just like resin printing, but with metal powder and a laser welder?

I immensely appreciate what you guys do and can't wait to get my hands on a Flow 556!
Amazing technology.
Seeing the utilization of this technology justifies the going rate for one of their cans. I need one immediately!

I can no wait for mine to clear and get out of jail!
Same as fuck.
59 days in 😅
Got mine back the other day... Almost exactly 7 months... Second stamp comes faster.
This is seriously cool to see. Thanks for sharing.
So beautiful
Very interesting. I would love to see more.
Nice 👍🏼
I want one! :)
Wow 😳
Crazy technology
No way. That’s some magic dwarf shit.
cool
I'd be curious to know what kind of tolerances are achievable on 3-D printed parts. Just scratching the surface as always🥃
Very tight!
If it isn't to spec it's trashed.
@@HUXWRX Ok.
With laser sintered material like this, probably very good. This isn’t hobby-level FDM printing.

Dang it dale
Interested to see that they still say OSS on the can
Now do 762
Man I got to try one of these Flows out. Was really impressed with the features. One day I hope to be knocking some coyotes out with its assistance.
You'll never shoot a baffle can again!
@@HUXWRX oh I can agree with you on that. Saving up for one right now.
My first probably only can I will use on my .223/5.56 and 5.45 firearms. Better AK can as it’s easier to take off hot than AR.
What’s the replacement cost of the machines used to produce this can?
Is a baffle strike repairable on these yet?

@@johnr1124That is not true at all. The most recent reply above mine is correct. They can repair them and send them back.

A long ass time haha
@@HUXWRX Lol I figured as much, for how intricate these cans are.
Thanks for the reply! Saving up for my Flow 762 as we speak lol.
Will the flow 556k work with the pin and weld flash hider muzzle device?Think I know the answer I just want to be sure.
if its is our 556 muzzle devices yes...
@@HUXWRX thanks.
So when are we getting a 300k flow?
You mean a 7.62...
@@HUXWRX so is there one coming?
@@gero4415 yeah basically guaranteed soon
