We check out B&T USA’s Rotex and the SRBS suppressors, part of the company’s new 3D-printed Print-X line of advanced rifle suppressors.
3D printing is the probable future of many kinds of manufacturing, but it almost certainly is when it comes to suppressors. B&T seems to agree, evidenced by the company’s new Print-X line of advanced rifle suppressors.
Featuring the Rotex and the SRBS (Slim Reduced Backpressure System), the 3D printed Print-X family of suppressors are made using laser bed fusion techniques, are fully weldless and are made of either pure titanium or 718 Inconel. The weldless design reduces the weight and the number of potential failure points, and each suppressor also features a low-flash endcap and a high-performance Star Baffle system. Print-X cans ship with B&T’s Rotex-SF HUB assembly which is compatible with appropriate B&T muzzle devices, but this can be replaced with any industry-standard HUB assembly.
Chris Mudgett, Vice President of Marketing for B&T USA, said this about the new suppressors:
The improvements made to our 3D printed SRBS and Rotex suppressors within the Print-X family are examples of how our customers and end-users continue to reap the benefits of our R&D team continually pushing what is possible in both material and design … As a suppressor manufacturer with nearly 700 different suppressors, it’s safe to say our engineering team refuses to leave well enough alone and our products are in a perpetual state of advancement to ensure our customers receive the most cutting-edge technology possible, providing them with a substantial advantage in the field.
Whether you’re interested in a Rotex or SRBS suppressor, both have quite a few variants available. Besides the choice of material (titanium or Inconel), both models are offered in 7.62 and 5.56 with an impressive range of sizes to choose from.
