Profile

What it builds and who buys it

  • ·DAPS, the Divergent Adaptive Production System, combines in-house AI-driven generative design software, additive manufacturing and automated fixtureless assembly to produce large multi-part structures, which Divergent supplies as a certified Tier 1 supplier.Divergent Technologies (company release), Nov 13, 2023
  • ·Divergent does not license its technology or software; it sells manufacturing on a per-unit basis with a low initiation fee, which it calls factory-as-a-service.Los Angeles Times (B2B contributor content), Feb 22, 2026
  • ·Its early customers were luxury automakers such as Aston Martin, Bugatti and McLaren. It moved into aerospace and defense in 2022 with work for General Atomics and has contracts with dozens of aerospace and defense customers, including General Atomics, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon and Triumph Group.

  • ·The Long Beach Post reported that aerospace and defense contracts make up 80 percent of income, that the company started 2026 with more than 500 employees, that the Raytheon Tomahawk contract is its largest, and that the new factory adds 1,000 jobs and was expected online by the end of 2026.Long Beach Post, Jun 26, 2026

    Founded Divergent in 2014 and is its lead inventor; earlier served in the U.S. Marine Corps, was a federal prosecutor, an executive at Goldman Sachs and an entrepreneur-in-residence at a venture firm, and co-founded the electric-car maker Coda Automotive.

  • Lukas CzingerCo-founder and chief executive

    Studied engineering at Yale and left a full-time job at an investment bank to join his father’s startup as one of its first employees; led the automation robotics team, became vice president of manufacturing and expanded to the software and 3D printing teams, and had a leadership role in the later funding rounds.Los Angeles Times (B2B contributor content), Feb 22, 2026

  • Brian ErharticChief technology officer

    Joined in 2024 and led the in-house development of the Monolith One printer; previously vice president of additive development at Relativity Space and senior director of Dragon manufacturing at SpaceX.Divergent Technologies (company release), Jun 8, 2026

  • Cooper KellerChief operating officer

    A foundational member of the company, promoted in June 2026 to oversee application engineering, program management, supply chain, quality and production; earlier developed automotive, aerospace and defense products at Eaton.Divergent Technologies (company release), Jun 1, 2026

Prospects, after the Long Beach factory

Prepared by PiggyGPT, as of Oct 11, 2026

  • ·The last priced round on file is the September 2025 Series E at $2.3 billion. Local press still gave that figure as the company’s value in May and June 2026, and no 2026 round is on file from the company or named press.Long Beach Post, Jun 26, 2026
  • ·No revenue figure is on file. The company states only that revenue grew more than fivefold in 2025, and press puts aerospace and defense at 80 percent of income.Divergent Technologies (company release), Sep 15, 2025
  • ·Demand rests on prime contractors’ programs rather than direct government awards. The Tomahawk midbody, the largest contract by the Long Beach Post’s account, is a second-source supply deal whose upstream Raytheon contract waits on a fiscal 2027 budget, with production aimed for the first half of 2027.Breaking Defense, Jun 17, 2026
  • ·The Long Beach factory is capacity, not orders: 64 printers to be brought online over 24 months for up to 30,000 missile airframes or 60,000 warhead casings a year. The Oklahoma factory planned in September 2025 does not appear in the June 2026 release, which names Long Beach as the second factory.Divergent Technologies (company release), Jun 17, 2026
  • ·The automotive business continues beside defense, including Tier 1 supply and the affiliated Czinger Vehicles; the chief executive said the Long Beach factory could hypothetically turn majority automotive within three years.Breaking Defense, Jun 17, 2026
  • ·For the acquisition read, Lockheed Martin holds a $25 million strategic stake and is a customer, and Hexagon led the Series D with $100 million. Neither has been reported in talks, the company has itself bought technology (Sigma Additive’s software, 2023), and it raised a priced round in 2025. The posture is watch.
