Print & Process Parameter Development
ADDMAN is recognized for its deep expertise in developing and optimizing metal additive manufacturing processes. Our team of experts collaborate closely with customers to create AM process parameters that deliver consistent, isotropic microstructures, reliable build capability, and high-productivity performance. With a strong understanding of how print parameters, material behavior, and part geometry interact, we fine-tune processes to achieve predictable, high-quality outcomes. This disciplined approach enables efficient, cost-effective AM operations and superior component performance.
The Gao Block
The Gao Block is a specialized test part developed by Dr. Youping Gao—founder of Castheon and now Chief Scientist at ADDMAN—to support the advancement of metal additive manufacturing process development. Designed with complex geometries, including overhangs, undercuts, and fine-feature details, the Gao Block presents the kinds of challenges that reveal how process parameters truly perform.
By evaluating variables such as laser power, scan strategy, and layer thickness using this benchmark part, Dr. Gao and the engineering teams at ADDMAN are able to refine and validate new metal AM processes with precision. The Gao Block continues to be an essential tool in optimizing microstructures, improving build capability, and driving high-productivity additive manufacturing across ADDMAN’s operations.
Together, we can speed up the innovation of tomorrow. Let's talk.
The only limitation is our own imagination for what we can jointly develop. And it all begins with your story.
