Recently, according to Mohou.com, in order to further improve the3DInfluence in the printing field comes from Swedish tech giant Hexagon (Hexagon AB) to startupsDivergent technologiesInvested1billion to stimulate its3DDevelopments in printing and automated assembly technologies.
DivergentThe company is its subsidiaryCzingerVehiclesThe luxury supercars it makes have always attracted media attention. CEO of the companyKevin CzingerIt is also frequently discussed at conferences around the world.DivergentAdaptive production system (DAPS), it is happy to establish itself as a modern technology companyCEOpicture. at the same time,CzingerIt also introduced the outside world to truly new technology capable of automating and optimizing key processes throughout the production chain: powered by artificial intelligence (AI) drives generative design and helps create the final result3DThe models are printed then assembled by industrial robots.

at present,DAPSForCzingerAutomobile manufacturers and major automobile manufacturers produce automobile components.CzingerThe company will expand its product portfolio beyond supercars to include luxury sedans andSUV. However, the CEO emphasized that his modular factory concept could be used to produce almost anything. The latest reports indicate:“Regardless of the design, the same hardware infrastructure can be used for manufacturing and assembly of parts, enabling rapid design iterations or seamless switching between different vehicle models without downtime. This design-independent process is less energy and resource intensive, allowing more efficient structures to be produced more quickly and enabling20%has70%weight reduction, thereby significantly improving vehicle efficiency.“

DivergentFounder and CEOKevin Czingerexplain:“We are honored to work with Hexagon cooperate. Their vote of confidence in the product and vision we created has brought new energy and enthusiasm to our team. withDivergentAndCzinger Vehiclesexpansion, we look forward to working withHexagonBuild long-term relationships. “The senior vice president of operations andCzingerVehiclesco-founder ofLucas CzingerI also agree with this statement.
It’s a revolutionary idea to be able to transition manufacturing from cars to drones in the same modular factory. Additionally, as a digital workflow,DAPSOf course, this will concern Hexagon’s own activities. exist3DWhen it comes to printing, Hexagon suggests its products can be used anywhere in the workflow, from design and material characterization, to part and process simulation, to quality assurance (Quality assurance）。Quality assuranceThe land isDivergentAn area particularly in demand by the company, as it seeks to automate each step of the production process, it also requires the use of scanners and software to carry out Quality assurance。

Chairman and CEO of HexagoneOla Rollenexplain:“Automotive parts manufacturing has a much greater environmental impact than vehicle emissions, which is why new manufacturing concepts are winning out. We need to find ways to enable automakers to have more efficient and environmentally friendly manufacturing processes, minimizing material usage and total system cost. Incremental measures simply will not be enough to save the planet. exist2022YearHxGN LIVEIn my opening speech at the World Conference, I emphasized that hope for a sustainable future requires us all working together. Although in the past30yearsCO2The sharp increase in emissions is happening as we live, but we don’t want the pollution and greenhouse effect caused by carbon dioxide to damage the planet we live on. This is why Hexagon continues to invest in disruptive and unconventional technologies to enable giant progress. We are the ideal partner to guarantee the quality of this new innovative manufacturing process. HexagonDivergentThe company will jointly provide21The smart manufacturing concept of the century.“
WillDivergentBringing new technologies developed by companies to market is not an easy task. AlthoughCzingerProfits from supercar sales can help fund this effort to some extent, but it’s difficult to determine when a business like this will become profitable.CzingerZeng said the company has many customers from major automakers such as Aston.–Martin, the company hadDivergentbusiness for itsDBR22 3D ModelPrint a rear subframe. Additionally, the names of many customer manufacturers have not been disclosed. With this in mind, the businesses it takes over from various automakers have the potential to end up funding the company itself. Overall, Hexagon InvestmentsDivergentThe company primarily sees the company’s potential to completely reshape manufacturing in the future.
