Promoting additive manufacturing and 3D printing for shooting, hunting, and outdoor companies

Primary Manufacturing (“Primary” or “Primary Mfg”) is attending the 2022 SHOT Show this January 18–21 at The Venetian Expo and Caesars Forum in Las Vegas.

The SHOT Show is the world’s most comprehensive trade show for professionals involved with the shooting sports, hunting and law enforcement industries.

Ladd McCluskey, President at Primary, said, “This is our first year attending SHOT Show, and we couldn’t be more excited to promote additive manufacturing in the firearms industry. With our advanced 3D printing technologies, we can build production-grade plastic and metal parts that have been inconceivable with machining or injection molding.”

Advantages to additive manufacturing include:

• Parts with complex geometries and designs

• Cost-effective low volume production and prototyping

• No tooling or molding

• Ability to reduce part size and weight

Primary already produces parts for several companies in the firearms industry including Jack First Gun Parts.

SHOT attendees will be able to meet face-to-face with Primary to discuss manufacturing, prototyping, and design opportunities. Visit the Contact page to set up a meeting.
