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.

A new era of manufacturing is taking shape.   At Reindustrialize 2026, our CEO and Co-Founder Lukas Czinger announced two major milestones for Divergent — America’s most advanced industrial metal 3D printer, the Monolith One, and our second factory, a 430,000 sq. ft. facility in Long Beach, California.   Thank you to the Reindustrialize team for hosting critical conversations on advancing American manufacturing and strengthening the industrial foundation that drive economic growth and national security.   Swipe to see more from Lukas’ keynote.

Welcome to the new industrial age.    Today, we are proud to announce that we have built America’s most advanced industrial metal 3D printer and are officially opening our second factory, a 430,000 sq. ft. facility in Long Beach, CA.    Our laser powder bed fusion printer, named the Monolith One, is built for continuous, high throughput operations. The Monolith One delivers 24kW of laser power (through 12, 2kW lasers) and features an expanded build volume of 700 x 700 x 835 mm. The Monolith One is compatible with any industry standard alloy, including aluminum, nickel, steel, and titanium, offering maximum manufacturing flexibility. Standing more than 26 feet tall, six Monolith One printers are already online at our HQ, and 64 more will come online across our second factory in Long Beach, CA.    Our enhanced manufacturing capabilities and expanded factory footprint will allow us to deliver an 8X increase in annual production output for customer programs across the defense and commercial sectors.
