Emerging Tech Firm Expands Defense Production Capacity

Divergent Technologies will begin 3D printing a key portion of the Tomahawk cruise missile at its new production facility in Long Beach, Calif., with production expected to start in the first half of next year. The company’s new 430,000-square-foot factory will have the capacity to deliver upward of 30,000 missile airframes or 60,000 warhead casings per year, depending on the needs of the Pentagon. Divergent’s CEO Lukas Czinger said the company is expanding its defense production capacity, with about 80 percent of the new factory driven by growth in defense contract volume.
