TORRANCE, Calif. and PALM BEACH, Fla., Sept. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Divergent Technologies, Inc., a pioneer in digital and additive manufacturing, today announced the close of a $290M capital round led by Rochefort Asset Management, a U.S. national security-focused investment management firm licensed under the Office of Strategic Capital (OSC) of the U.S. Department of War.
Rochefort contributed $120 million to the round, underscoring its conviction in the Divergent Adaptive Production System (DAPSTM), the company's breakthrough digital manufacturing platform reshaping the production of aerospace, defense, and automotive systems.
Transforming Defense Manufacturing
DAPS enables customers to design, additively manufacture, and automatically assemble highly complex structures with unmatched speed, efficiency, and scalability. By harnessing AI-driven design and advanced additive manufacturing, DAPS compresses multi-year development cycles into weeks, while significantly reducing material waste and eliminating the need for heavy upfront capital expenditures.
The platform is already delivering mission-critical solutions across the U.S. defense industrial base, including advanced missile systems, unmanned aircraft systems, and sustainment parts for national security programs.
Strategic Importance
"As global conflicts highlight the urgent need for rapid innovation and production, Divergent's technology ensures that the U.S. and its allies remain militarily dominant," said Kyle Bass, Co-CEO of Rochefort Asset Management. "Divergent will be central to the accelerated manufacturing of precision weapons systems that our military requires today. We are proud to partner with the Divergent team on this mission-critical journey."
"At Divergent, our mission is to fundamentally transform how complex systems are designed and produced," said Lukas Czinger, CEO and Co-Founder of Divergent Technologies. "The support from Rochefort and our investors enables us to scale DAPS to meet the urgent needs of our nation and allies. We have built the foundation for a new era of digital production that delivers faster, stronger, and more sustainable solutions for defense and aerospace. Divergent's scale is critical to safeguarding America's industrial and national security leadership for decades to come."
"We are thrilled to help accelerate Divergent's growth as it transforms the future of manufacturing and strengthens America's industrial base," added Jody LaNasa, Co-CEO of Rochefort Asset Management. "With its proprietary design software, advanced 3D printers, custom alloys, and a rapidly expanding backlog of Department of War projects, Divergent stands as one of the most important and exciting technologies in the world today."
This funding round will accelerate the construction of multiple DAPS-powered production facilities for aerospace and defense applications, ushering in a new era of scalable, digital-first manufacturing.
