3D Printing: Green Automotive Manufacturer
DIVERGENT 3D – The Blade - First 3D Printed Super Car Wow! Divergent Blade goes from 0-60 in about 2.5 seconds! That’s faster than a McLaren P1
supercar. It also has 2x the power-to-weight ratio of a Bugatti Veyron source
Not-a-Wow… Automotive Manufacturing is the most polluting industry in the world
Structural Superiority: This automotive designer/builder brings a disruptive new approach to auto manufacturing that incorporates 3D printed joints, connecting carbon fiber structural materials that results in an industrial strength chassis that can be assembled in a matter of minutes with just 25% of the components. Source: Jalopnik.com
Dramatically reduces per-vehicle, upfront capital costs & environmental impact.
Removes vehicle design limitations - Today’s cars aren’t pieced together necessarily in the best way for strength or lightness; they’re pieced together in the best way given the limitations of stamping out big pieces of metal.
When traditional metal stamping is no longer needed, better material properties emerge, allowing better locations and optimization of designs; How pieces can be fit together is totally different when its limitations are opened up by 3D printing.
Partnered with Peugeot (PSA Group), based on six months of intensive due diligence where Peugeot checked all of Divergent’s work
• Divergent took nearly a quarter ton out of Peugeot’s 308 hatchback
Achieved gains in fuel economy and performance; Radically reduced the material energy input needed to manufacture.
After CES, Divergent 3D closed on a $23 million Series A funding round that will be used to help expand its 3D printing technology for the automotive sector
