McLaren Automotive Partners with California-based Divergent3D

McLaren Automotive has partnered with California-based industrial digital manufacturing company Divergent Technologies, Inc., to deliver advanced suspension hardware for our latest supercar, the McLaren W1. The new McLaren W1 features Formula 1-inspired front suspension, mounted directly into the Aerocell carbon fibre monocoque. Divergent’s additive manufacturing technology has supported McLaren in developing efficient and complex suspension systems for optimal durability and stiffness, including the front upper wishbone, aeroform lower wishbone, and front upright. The externally visible front wishbones are key components 3D-printed by Divergent. Divergent’s innovative design and manufacturing methods have enabled our engineers to rapidly iterate designs, advancing the development of the supercar’s groundbreaking structural suspension components, which have contributed to the W1’s superior vehicle performance and driver engagement.
