Incremental steps are simply not enough to save the planet.” “We must find ways to empower car makers with more efficient and environmentally friendly manufacturing processes that minimise material usage and total system cost. “Manufacturing a car’s parts has a much greater impact on the environment than the car’s exhaust emissions, which is why new manufacturing concepts will win,” says Hexagon President and CEO Ola Rollén. The design-agnostic process is less energy- and resource-intensive, delivers more efficient structures faster and achieves weight reductions between 20% and 70% leading to dramatic improvements in vehicle efficiency. Regardless of the design, part manufacturing and assembly can be carried out using the same hardware infrastructure, enabling quick design iterations or seamless switches between different vehicle models without downtime. Parts are 3D printed and assembled autonomously, reducing manufacturing time and human intervention. ![]() The design software optimises the weight, strength and cost of vehicle models. ![]() The patented process combines AI-optimised generative design software, additive manufacturing (3D printing) and automated assembly to build lightweight automotive parts and frames. ![]() DAPS is a fully integrated software and hardware solution, creating a complete modular digital factory for complex structures. Hexagon AB, a global leader in digital reality solutions combining sensor, software and autonomous technologies, today announced a 100 MUSD investment in Divergent Technologies Inc., a pioneer of green manufacturing technologies with the first modular digital factory for the automotive industry.ĭivergent has developed an alternative production process to traditional vehicle manufacturing called DAPS ® (Divergent Adaptive Production System) that addresses economic and environmental challenges head-on. ![]()
