If you want to make your own you submit a form1, wait forever, get your form back with stamp attached and go to work. Pretty easy really.
If you want to make them to sell, that's a different story. You must have a certain type of FFL and it's highly regulated.
txgunner is absolutely correct. the only caveat is "legally" you cannot alter the supressor once its completely built. supposedly you have to submit the dimensions of your design and the serial number that you wish it to be then wait. this keeps you from using same stamp as a test bed for a good design. That being said, I got this info a year or so ago from silencertalk.com, dont remember link, so if its wrong, dont flog me too bad!
