Triumph Group, Inc. and Divergent Technologies, Inc. announced a partnership to qualify multiple critical manned aircraft components manufactured with the Divergent Adaptive Production System (DAPS??), marking a significant milestone in bringing advanced digital manufacturing technologies into production for high-performance aerospace applications. The components, which play a critical role in flight safety, are undergoing rigorous testing and validation protocols. Each will be certified by an empowered regulatory authority for use on a high-performance aircraft, validating the growing adoption of additive manufacturing for mission-critical aerospace applications.

The speed that the partnership has demonstrated in requalifying the components further highlights the strength of TRIUMPH's capabilities to resolve supply chain constraints posed by legacy manufacturing methods such as casting. TRIUMPH's gearbox component design, engineering, prototyping, and qualification process leveraged Divergent's fully digital toolchain, ultimately delivering first-time-right, production-fidelity structures for testing and enabling a seamless transition to production. DAPS??

is an end-to-end engineering design and manufacturing system leveraging AI-driven design, industrial-rate additive manufacturing, and universal robotic assembly to deliver structures that are faster to develop, higher performance, and lower cost than their conventionally designed and manufactured alternatives. TRIUMPH is identifying applications across multiple product lines where TRIUMPH can partner and implement these 4th gen manufacturing processes. The program will see approximately 100 units delivered over the next two years, representing a multi-ton sum of qualified additive manufacturing material by the end of the production run.

The partnership underscores both companies' commitment to speed, quality, and adoption of leading edge, production-ready technologies.
