ADDMAN is Unifying Under One Brand

By unifying under the ADDMAN name, we are removing operational barriers, enhancing collaboration, and streamlining customer interactions. This integration improves efficiency, strengthens our position as a vertically integrated advanced manufacturing leader, and provides customers with a single point of contact, an integrated service model, and greater scalability across metal additive, polymer, and precision machining.

Customers will experience a more seamless and scalable manufacturing process. With all capabilities under one brand, we provide streamlined communication, an integrated service model, and expanded capacity across metal additive, polymer, and precision machining.

No immediate changes are planned. However, as we integrate teams and operations, opportunities for collaboration and process improvements may arise. Your manager will communicate any updates relevant to your role.

To better serve our customers, we are organizing into three specialized divisions:

• Advanced Metals – Metal additive manufacturing expertise, including refractory metals and scalable production. (Formerly Castheon and KAM)
• Polymer – Cutting-edge polymer solutions, including additive manufacturing, injection molding, and tooling. (Formerly Dinsmore and HARBEC)
• Precision – High-precision machining and engineered solutions for aerospace, defense, and industrial applications. (Formerly ADDMAN Precision, Tech Manufacturing, Stanley Engineering, and Domaille Engineering)

Each division will maintain its existing locations:

• Advanced Metals – Thousand Oaks, CA, Statesville, NC, and Rochester, NY
• Polymer – Irvine, CA, Fort Myers, FL, and Rochester, NY
• Precision – Missouri and Maryland

Castheon will serve as the innovation and development hub within ADDMAN’s Advanced Metals division, specializing in early-stage development, material research, and low-rate production of metal additive applications. With deep expertise in refractory metals, material science, and complex geometries, Castheon will focus on designing, testing, and validating next-generation components for hypersonics, space, and defense.

This offering enables customers to rapidly iterate on designs, optimize performance, and qualify new materials before transitioning to scalable production. Once a design is validated, KAM will support high-volume, repeatable manufacturing, ensuring a seamless transition from prototyping to full-scale production while maintaining the strict quality and performance standards required for mission-critical applications.

ADDMAN’s development offering is built around the scientific minds at Castheon, whose expertise in material science, metallurgy, and additive design drives innovation for mission-critical applications. This offering gives customers direct access to industry-leading researchers, engineers, and additive pioneers, enabling them to rapidly develop, qualify, and transition from concept to full-scale production with unmatched precision and performance.

To support this, we provide a clear validation pathway, guiding customers through feasibility, material characterization, qualification, and production readiness. By ensuring testing rigor, statistical validation, and regulatory alignment, we help de-risk development, accelerate certification, and enable a seamless transition into scalable manufacturing.

• Material Science & Metallurgy – We refine and enhance existing alloys through advanced processing techniques, optimizing microstructure, chemistry, and performance for extreme environments. Our expertise in refractory metals and high-temperature materials ensures stable, printable, and durable powders for metal additive manufacturing.

• Design for Additive & Prototyping – From concept to production, we optimize geometries for weight savings, thermal efficiency, and structural integrity. Our team iterates rapidly, refining designs to ensure they perform flawlessly in production environments.

• Mechanical & Thermal Analysis – Extreme conditions require extreme confidence. We model, simulate, and test for structural integrity, heat resistance, and durability, ensuring parts can withstand harsh operational environments before they are ever printed.

• Validation, Qualification & Certification – Compliance isn’t a checkpoint—it’s a foundation. Our structured qualification pathway ensures materials and processes meet industry standards, regulatory requirements, and mission-critical performance criteria. From AMS and ASTM standards to aerospace and defense qualifications, we guide parts through progressive testing, statistical validation, and certification, including S-Basis, B-Basis, and A-Basis allowables. By systematically increasing testing rigor and process validation, we help de-risk development, accelerate approval, and enable scalable manufacturing for high-performance applications.

This integrated development process enables ADDMAN to bridge the gap between R&D and production, helping customers bring next-generation technologies to market faster than ever before.

ADDMAN Precision already completed its unification in 2023 when we retired the Stanley Engineering and Tech Manufacturing logos, consolidating under the ADDMAN Precision brand. The only change now is that we will transition from the ADDMAN Precision logo to the primary ADDMAN brand, further aligning with our company-wide integration.

The Precision  division provides high-precision machining, post-processing, and engineered solutions for aerospace, defense, and industrial applications. With locations in Missouri and Maryland, this division specializes in delivering complex, high-tolerance components at scale.

By the end of Q1 2025, ADDMAN will no longer offer services at the Rochester, MN facility as it is being divested along with the Fiber Optic Business, an independent brand that operates within the site. Customers currently working with the Rochester facility will be supported throughout the transition, ensuring their projects are seamlessly relocated to another Precision Manufacturing location for continued service.

Yes, in a positive way. This transition strengthens our ability to support defense, aerospace, and high-security projects by aligning our operations and ensuring compliance with government and industry standards.

We are all part of ADDMAN, unified under a shared identity and mission. This transition organizes our operations into three divisions while allowing flexibility in how we represent our roles. Business cards and email signatures will provide options to identify your division or location, ensuring clarity for customers and partners while reinforcing our integrated structure.

For any additional questions, reach out to your manager or the HR department. We will also continue to share updates as the integration progresses to keep you informed and address any concerns.

Updated brand assets can be found in the company’s shared Brand Asset Library on our internal network. This includes logos, templates, and other materials aligned with our refreshed brand. If you need access or have any trouble locating specific assets, please reach out to the Marketing team for assistance.
