In less than 12 months, Lockheed Martin Skunk Works and Divergent transformed a digital drone concept into a full-scale physical prototype.
Known as Replicator, the 2.7-meter (9-foot) platform was produced using Divergent Adaptive Production System (DAPS), an additive manufacturing solution designed to shorten build cycles.
The tool combines engineering design, structural analysis, manufacturing, and quality validation within a unified digital environment, linking the entire process into a single workflow.
