Abstract: Suppressors for firearms are disclosed. In some embodiments, a suppression core comprises an annular cylinder surrounding a center bore, and a baffle structure surrounding the annular cylinder. The annular cylinder and the baffle structure are concentric. The baffle structure comprises a triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS) structure. At a transition between the annular cylinder and the baffle structure, a plurality of first openings in the annular cylinder form continuous paths with a plurality of second openings in the baffle structure. In some embodiments, a suppression core comprises an annular cylindrical shape having a center bore, the suppression core comprising a TPMS structure. The TPMS has walls within the TPMS structure. A wall thickness of the walls of the TPMS structure or a unit cell size of the TPMS structure varies within the suppression core.

Abstract: Noise suppressors for firearms are disclosed, having a cylindrical body extending along a longitudinal direction, a chamber having an annular cylindrical shape, and a suppression core in the chamber. The chamber has an outer diameter defined by an inner surface of the body, an inner diameter forming a center bore, and a length along the longitudinal direction. The suppression core has a triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS) structure. A wall thickness or unit cell size of the TPMS structure may vary along longitudinal or radial directions. The suppression core may have an inner portion and an outer portion, where at a transition between the inner and outer portions, a plurality of first openings in the inner portion and a plurality of second openings in the outer portion have a parameter that matches in size with each other, and the first and second openings are approximately aligned with each other.
