3D Printed Titanium Ultralight Scope mounts by EAW - Ernst Apel

[Nordic Marksman]

EAW has launched a new ultralight titanium mount in a Generative AI Bionic design and this is the first one to arrive in Canada. Its heading out west to mate up to a Tangent Theta.

Absolutely stunning.

100% made by EAW (Ernst Apel GmbH) in Germany.

Damn!!!! Looks something much more then futuristic

That’s very cool. I didn’t know you could 3d print with titanium.

[gcarms]

Super cool.

Looks like something Ripley would have on her M41A DMR set up.

DMLS - Direct Metal Laser Sintering: A fine layer of metal powder is deposited on a very flat surface, and a high power laser melts the areas that need to be solid. Then another super thin layer of metal powder is applied, and the process repeated, slice by slice, until you end up with a fully formed piece. The technology is really cool. Plastics were a common material for this, but in the last 15 years or so, I've had a chance to print in steel, brass, stainless steel, aluminum, and titanium. I'm looking for an excuse to print in inconel 718 but I don't have any clients that need parts in that alloy yet.

Coming soon to a household near you.

It's no wonder the Liberals want to control the internet ASAP. Home based 3d sintering is right around the corner, and it would render ALL gun control moot.

It can't come soon enough.

3D Printed in metal is nuts. Here is an extreme example of what's possible from Bugatti... the worlds first 3D printed titanium brake caliper... it shows testing at crazy temperatures. Cool technology to say the least. Your imagination is the only limiting factor of what's possible. I think its a bit overkill for my Tacoma though lol

The flow-through suppressors for SIG's NGSW winner are also 3d printed. Allows for complexity not possible with conventional methods, or so they say.

All kinds of crazy stuff being printed. AI software came up with the design of this engine within minutes and and was printed within days.

“It was engineered completely in Hyperganic Core using advanced software algorithms and has never seen a single piece of manual CAD. It’s likely the most complex AM part ever produced — it broke all conventional workflows.”
