Divergent

Today, at the inaugural Defense Industrial Base Accelerator (#DIBX2026), hosted by Hon. (Mike C.) Cadenazzi and Office of the Assistant Secretary of War for Industrial Base Policy, our Co-Founder and CEO Lukas Czinger took the stage with Hon. Andersen to talk about “Revolutionizing the Defense Industrial Base.” The discussion focused on new models of partnership between defense primes and next-generation technology companies, and how those partnerships can help accelerate the technology and production capacity needed to meet urgent warfighter demand. At Divergent, we’re focused on strengthening the defense industrial base through advanced manufacturing. Today, we’re supporting 25+ customer programs across a broad range of mission-critical hardware, including autonomous aircraft fuselages, fighter jet gearboxes, warhead casings, and more. Thank you to DIBX for bringing together leaders from across government and industry and facilitating action-oriented conversations about what it takes to build the defense industrial base for the future.

🔔 Philadelphia is a city that knows a thing or two about revolutions. Next week at #DIBX2026, we are bringing together next-generation technology startups and global defense primes to discuss how they are partnering to bypass legacy supply chain bottlenecks. Join us for this high-stakes panel moderated by HON Marc Andersen, featuring CEOs from Leonardo DRS, Divergent, Firehawk, and Saab, Inc. As the global threat landscape rapidly evolves, bridging the gap between national security imperatives and industrial capability has never been more critical. By integrating agile innovation with heavy industrial capacity, these leaders are mapping a path toward a more resilient allied industrial base capable of delivering for the warfighter. It’s nothing short of revolutionary. 🦅 👉 Are you attending next week? Let us know in the comments, and follow #DIBX2026 for live updates from Philadelphia!

Every day, we're delivering missile airframes at scale. With fully additively manufactured airframes by Divergent, CoAspire's RAACM (Rapidly Adaptable Affordable Cruise Missile) is among our highest rate customer program to date, delivering multiple airframes each day. With DAPS™, our factories are adaptive, meaning that we can transition from producing an airframe for a missile to an automotive subframe back-to-back. Software driven – no retooling required.

Divergent was proud to participate in the Aerospace Summer Games 2026. The annual event brings the aerospace industry together for a day of competition and connection, creating opportunities to meet, reconnect, and celebrate with colleagues. Thank you to the organizers, volunteers, and everyone who helped make the event a success. Swipe to see our team in action.

Aerospace and defense are moving into the next chapter of additive manufacturing where quality production at scale becomes the new standard. On Thursday, July 9, the 3D Printing Industry and AMUG (Additive Manufacturing Users Group) will host its annual Additive Manufacturing Advantage: Aerospace, Space and Defense (AMAA 2026) to convene industry leaders and chart the path from breakthrough innovation to operational readiness. Our COO Cooper Keller will join this year's event to share how we are scaling AM production across aerospace and defense programs, including more detail about Monolith One, our metal additive manufacturing solution that is a critical component of DAPS™, our software-defined manufacturing platform.

America turns 250 today — marking two and a half centuries of innovation that have built industries, advanced technology, and shaped the world. From record-breaking hypercars to multiplanetary spacecraft, American ingenuity has continually expanded what’s possible, transforming transportation, exploration and national capability. The next 250 years will require a new generation of breakthroughs, supported by faster, more adaptable ways to design and manufacture complex systems. At Divergent, we're focused on enabling that future through advanced manufacturing technologies that accelerate innovation and expand what's possible.

With our manufacturing platform, DAPS™, we design, build, and assemble structures and solutions across critical industries. One recent example is our work with Lockheed Martin. Together, we took an autonomous drone from design to hardware in months, using a digital-first approach to compress the path from engineering to production. Divergent supplied an advanced design, additively manufactured and robotically assembled airframe. Now with our new 430,000 sq. ft. factory, and the Monolith One, our in-house, industrial, metal 3D printers, we are ramping up our manufacturing operations to deliver an 8X increase in annual production output for our customer programs across the defense and commercial sectors.
