We have a deep understanding of the interplay between print parameters, material properties, and final part performance, which allows us to fine-tune AM processes to achieve the desired outcomes. Our expertise in process parameter development ensures that our clients can achieve maximum efficiency and cost-effectiveness in their AM operations.

The Gao Block

The Gao block is a unique test part developed by Dr. Youping Gao, founder of Castheon Inc., to facilitate the development of new metal additive manufacturing processes and parameters. It is a complex geometric part that features a range of features, such as overhangs, undercuts, and fine details, which make it a challenging part to produce using traditional manufacturing methods. By using the Gao block, Dr. Gao and his team can test and optimize new metal additive processes and parameters, such as laser power, scanning speed, and layer thickness, to achieve the desired quality and consistency of parts. The Gao block has proven to be a valuable tool in the development of new metal additive processes and parameter optimization, enabling Castheon to offer its customers cutting-edge AM solutions that are optimized for optimal and isotropic microstructures, build capability, and high productivity.

Together, we can speed up the innovation of tomorrow. Let's talk.

Our collective ability to create is boundless, limited only by the scope of our imagination. Your story is the starting point for this journey.
