## Products & services

- **DAPS (Divergent Adaptive Production System)** — An end-to-end software-hardware production system with three stages: AI-enabled generative Design, metal 3D Printing of application-specific-alloy 'nodes' via laser powder-bed fusion, and a universal software-defined robotic Assemble step that joins parts without design-specific tooling.
- **Generative / AI design software** — Computational engineering tools that optimize structures for performance, weight, and manufacturability, then output print-ready geometry.
- **Tier 1 contract manufacturing** — Supplies finished, optimized printed-and-assembled parts and systems to automotive OEMs and aerospace/defense primes, eliminating customer tooling and capex.
- **Czinger Vehicles (subsidiary)** — Hypercar brand and halo showcase for DAPS. Flagship Czinger 21C is a tandem-seat hybrid hypercar (~1,250 hp) built on Divergent's process; limited run of 80 units.
