According to AXIOS, U.S. defense technology startup Divergent Technologies is utilizing AI-driven 3D printing technology to directly manufacture cruise missile airframes. This innovative technology significantly reduces weapon production costs, keeping the unit price of finished missiles between $200,000 and $500,000—just one-tenth of the cost of traditional missiles. By leveraging an AI-optimized additive manufacturing process, the technology enables rapid iteration from design to production, substantially shortening the research and development cycle. Divergent Technologies' 'single-factory, full-category manufacturing' capability allows its production line to seamlessly switch between manufacturing different types of components, demonstrating a high level of flexible manufacturing. This breakthrough holds significant importance for the U.S. Department of Defense, particularly amid the current surge in geopolitical conflicts and ammunition demand. The low-cost, high-efficiency missile production model provides the U.S. military with greater strategic flexibility.
