About Divergent Technologies
Divergent Technologies develops the Divergent Adaptive Production System, a software-defined manufacturing platform for complex metal structures. The system links generative design, additive manufacturing and automated assembly, allowing engineers to optimise a structure and produce it through a reusable digital production architecture.
Industrial printers create load-bearing components that robots assemble into vehicle and aerospace structures with limited dedicated tooling. Divergent operates production capacity as well as supplying programme engineering, supporting rapid iteration from design changes to qualified parts. Applications include Czinger road cars and aerospace and defence structures, including prototype work on uncrewed aircraft with Lockheed Martin.

- 2026-09-23 - Product Launch - AEVEX announces Specter jet-powered autonomous UAS under development
A swappable nose is designed to accommodate kinetic, non-kinetic, electronic-warfare and ISR payloads. AEVEX says the architecture draws on its CompassX autonomy stack and experience from thousands of fielded unmanned systems. Divergent’s DAPS digital manufacturing system is being incorporated during development to support rapid iteration and scalable production.

The work combines AEVEX unmanned-system requirements and integration experience with Divergent's DAPS manufacturing platform. DAPS integrates AI-enabled design optimization, additive manufacturing, robotic assembly and model-driven certification. The companies will explore architectures and processes intended to reduce part count, compress development timelines and support scalable production.

Lockheed Martin Skunk Works and Divergent moved from initial concept to a nine-foot Replicator UAS first article in under 12 months. The effort used Divergent's integrated design, analysis, additive manufacturing and automated assembly environment. The prototype demonstrated rapid iteration of defense-aircraft hardware through the DAPS production stack.

Rochefort Asset Management led the USD 290 million Series E package. The closed financing comprised USD 250 million of equity capital and USD 40 million of debt capital at a USD 2.3 billion valuation. Divergent plans to use the capital to expand manufacturing capacity and develop capabilities for additional product families.

Hexagon AB led the round with a $100 million investment inside the $230 million total, not as an additive round. Forge transaction data reports a $31.67 preferred-share price and an approximately $1.47 billion post-money valuation. The capital supported commercialization of Divergent's digital manufacturing system across industrial and defense production.

The companies had completed two projects that produced a fully integrated small-UAS metal aerostructure with more than 95% fewer parts. DAPS combined AI-driven design, additive fabrication, digital-twin inspection and automated tool-less assembly. The completed small-UAS structure moved from print-ready design to a deliverable airframe in under two days.
