Company Overview
Empowered Engineers. Revolutionary Capabilities.
Our Foundation
Castheon, founded by Dr. Youping Gao in 2016, is an innovative leader in the aerospace industry specializing in additive manufacturing research, development, and production services. We focus on the development of robust Laser Powder Bed Fusion processes for aerospace, defense, and industrial-based customers. ADDMAN acquired Castheon in 2021 and in the Spring of 2023, Castheon expanded into a 40,000-square-foot facility.
Our primary objective is to provide high-quality components and robust additive manufacturing solutions that establish a competitive advantage for our clients. Castheon is known for its development of new materials for Additive Manufacturing and the “Gao Block,” a tool that enables the development of robust manufacturing processes.
The Gao Block
As a true innovator in the field of metal additive manufacturing, Dr. Gao boasts 20 years of unmatched experience and has developed the iconic Gao Block, which is depicted in the company’s new logo. The Gao Block is a physical metallurgy-based creation that accelerates and enhances the improvement of AM parameters and microstructure, resulting in the strongest possible material strength. Not only does it quicken the AM process parameters, but it also helps enhance the microstructure for top-notch material qualities. A seamless build of a Gao Block without any distortions is a clear indicator of successful AM parameters for a particular alloy.
