We are the perfect partner to ensure quality is delivered throughout this new, innovative manufacturing process. For that reason, Hexagon continues to invest in disruptive and unconventional technologies that make giant leaps forward. “While the steep climb in emissions over the last 30 years happened on our watch, none of us want to go down in history as the CO2 Generation – the one that polluted and warmed this planet. In my keynote speech at HxGN LIVE Global 2022, I delivered a message of hope for a sustainable future by naming the culprit aloud: all of us,” continued Rollén.

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. As it seeks to automate every step of the production process, QA would need to be performed using scanners and software as well.Ī look at the 21C’s engine, featuring 3D printed components.

This last area would be one area that I think could be particularly useful for a company like Divergent. In 3D printing, Hexagon suggests its products can be used anywhere along the workflow, from design and material characterization to part and process simulation, as well as quality assurance (QA). And, as a digital workflow, DAPS would naturally be relevant to Hexagon’s own operations. The idea of using the same modular factory to go from producing a car to making, say, a drone is a revolutionary one. “We look forward to a long-term relationship with Hexagon as Divergent and Czinger Vehicles scale.” “Having their vote of confidence in what we’ve built and our vision for the future of manufacturing brings new energy and enthusiasm to our team.This significant investment will allow us to accelerate our plans to build a global network of DAPS factories, each serving multiple OEM clients,” said Lukas Czinger, Divergent’s SVP of Operations and Czinger Vehicles Co-Founder. “We are humbled and honoured to be partnering with Hexagon” said Kevin Czinger, Divergent’s Founder and CEO. A look at an exploded view of the 21C reveals how radically different every component looks from traditionally made counterparts.
