Dwell Time Podcast #84: Optimus 6 Suppressor & Additive Manufacturing

Explicit content warning

05/20/25 • 42 min

In this episode of the Dwell Time Podcast, Griffin Armament owner Austin sits down with Inventory Manager, Kade, to discuss Griffin's first 3D printed suppressor: the Optimus 6.

The Optimus 6 is a 6mm bore multi-jet fusion additive manufactured (3D Printed) suppressor optimized for reducing system backpressure over “traditional” suppressors by way of its high-flow baffle design, while maintaining impressive flash and sound reduction. The quad-tine flash hider end cap was painstakingly tuned in conjunction with the low backpressure baffle stack to kill flash at a level almost unseen in other low backpressure suppressors available on the market.

Tune in for an in-depth conversation on Griffin's history and experience with additive manufacturing, and what makes the Optimus 6 silencer stand out amongst the bunch.
