Boise, ID (December 15, 2025) – The arrival of additive manufacturing has reshaped modern production, allowing designers to create lighter, more consistent components without compromising strength. Primary Weapons Systems (PWS) is applying that capability to suppression with the BDE family of suppressors—pairing traditional baffle architecture with the precision of Direct Metal Fusion 3D printing. The result is a line of modular, lightweight suppressors engineered for durability, repeatable performance, and seamless integration across modern weapon platforms.
Welcome to the era of BDE 3D-printed suppressors from Primary Weapons Systems. Leveraging Direct Metal Fusion technology, PWS produces components with exceptional consistency, structural integrity, and weight efficiency while maintaining trusted, traditional baffle designs. This manufacturing approach enhances durability and ensures tight tolerances throughout the suppressor body.

The BDE series utilizes aerospace-grade titanium for the baffle core and features a hard PVD exterior coating for increased wear resistance. Modularity sits at the center of the design: each BDE model features a serialized entrance chamber and removable titanium baffle sections, allowing users to configure the overall length, weight, and back pressure to match the suppressor’s intended caliber category. Rather than a single model spanning multiple weapon classes, each suppressor within the BDE line is purpose-built for its designated caliber range and can be adjusted within that class for optimal performance.
The BDE line emphasizes real-world durability and thermal management. Symmetrical external shapes and heat-dissipating textures help reduce mirage and minimize point-of-impact shift. Taper-threaded baffles and precision alignment notches facilitate assembly, minimize carbon locking, and prolong maintenance intervals. Hub-standard mounting ensures compatibility with existing systems: larger BDE models feature a universal 1.375×24 TPI pattern, and PWS offers multiple piston, mount, and caliber-specific thread options across the line.
Construction and performance priorities include a Direct Metal Fusion 3D-printed aerospace-grade titanium baffle core with modular sections, a rugged PVD exterior finish, taper-threaded internal alignment features to streamline maintenance, and a low back-pressure design intended to support reliable weapon function.
