Abstract

A noise suppression device for use with a firearm includes a body including an outermost external surface of the noise suppression device and an internal portion and a core seamlessly connected to the internal portion of the body, wherein the noise suppression includes no joints, no seams, or any formerly separate pieces within the body or the core, and the core includes a structure of a plurality of holes defined by a framework of a connecting structure that connects to the internal portion of the body. Optionally, the core can include one or more baffles or one or more chambers.

Claims (33)

1. A noise suppression device for use with a firearm, the noise suppression device comprising:

a body including an outermost external surface of the noise suppression device and an internal portion; and

a core seamlessly connected to the internal portion of the body, wherein

the noise suppression device includes no joints, no seams, or any formerly separate pieces within the body or the core, and

the core includes a trabecular structure of a plurality of holes defined by a random framework of a connecting structure that connects to the internal portion of the body.

2. The noise suppression device of claim 1 , wherein the trabecular structure varies in density throughout the core.

3. The noise suppression device of claim 2 , wherein the trabecular structure varies in density laterally from one end of the core to another end of the core.

4. The noise suppression device of claim 2 , wherein the trabecular structure varies in density radially from a center of the core to the internal portion of the body.

5. The noise suppression device of claim 1 , further comprising one or more internal chambers.

6. The noise suppression device of claim 1 , wherein the noise suppression device is a three-dimensional-printed structure.

7. The noise suppression device of claim 1 , further comprising a firearm.

8. A noise suppression device for use with a firearm, the noise suppression device comprising:

a body including an outermost external surface of the noise suppression device and an internal portion; and

a core seamlessly connected to the internal portion of the body, wherein

the noise suppression device includes no joints, no seams, or any formerly separate pieces within the body or the core, and

the core includes a geometric framework of pores that are all connected by a series of fibers that bridge together and extend throughout the core and are connected to the internal portion of the body.

9. The noise suppression device of claim 8 , wherein the geometric framework of pores varies in density throughout the core.

10. The noise suppression device of claim 9 , wherein the geometric framework of pores varies in density laterally from one end of the core to another end of the core.

11. The noise suppression device of claim 9 , wherein the geometric framework of pores varies in density radially from a center of the core to the internal portion of the body.

12. The noise suppression device of claim 8 , further comprising one or more internal chambers.

13. The noise suppression device of claim 8 , wherein the noise suppression device is a three-dimensional-printed structure.

14. The noise suppression device of claim 8 , further comprising a firearm.

15. A noise suppression device for use with a firearm, the noise suppression device comprising:

a body including an outermost external surface of the noise suppression device and an internal portion; and

a core seamlessly connected to the internal portion of the body, wherein

the noise suppression device includes no joints, no seams, or any formerly separate pieces within the body or the core, and

the core includes one or more baffles and a geometric framework of pores defined by an interlaced connecting structure of a series of fibers that bridge together and extend throughout the core and are connected to the internal portion of the body.

16. The noise suppression device of claim 15 , further comprising one or more internal chambers.

17. The noise suppression device of claim 15 , wherein the noise suppression device is a three-dimensional-printed structure.

18. The noise suppression device of claim 15 , wherein the geometric framework of pores includes a trabecular structure.

19. The noise suppression device of claim 8 , wherein the geometric framework of pores includes a repeating lattice structure.

20. The noise suppression device of claim 8 , wherein the geometric framework of pores is a repeating geometric framework of pores.

21. The noise suppression device of claim 15 , wherein the geometric framework of pores is a repeating geometric framework of pores.
