The initial design, the "duckbill," had three tines or prongs and was prone to breakage and getting entangled in vegetation.

In May 2005, Colt's Manufacturing Company acquired Diemaco, and the name was changed to Colt Canada.
The printer used to print it is unknown but the brake was created using the Direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) method [1] by Sintercore (a weapons manufacturing startup company). [1] It is designed to tame the recoil and muzzle rise of AR-15 pistols chambered for .223 caliber (5.56×45mm) NATO rounds. [1] The Auxetik was renamed to 3DX by ...
