Divergent Technologies has raised $290 million in a Series E round led by Rochefort Asset Management, valuing the defense manufacturing startup at $2.3 billion. The company will use the funds to scale its US-based production of 3D-printed components and the machines that make them, avoiding tariff risks and ensuring control over growth, according to the WSJ. Divergent emphasized that its 3D printer is the main bottleneck to scale, prompting major investment in a domestic supply chainโincluding the laser system. The company supplies parts to Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and luxury automakers, and has introduced over 600 aerospace and defense part numbers in 2025. Divergent Technologies writes:
