Seamech International provides design, engineering and testing services to the aerospace industry, both domestically and internationally. These services were expanded more than 15 years ago to include manufacturing and supply operations for specialty aviation products.
Development
• Seamech has designed over 200 types of application specific vapor cycle air conditioning systems (VCS) and Environmental Control System (ECS) components for prototype, experimental, military, STC and TC aircraft programs
• Custom designed systems and components to fit customers’ specific requirements
Engineering
• Autodesk Inventor Series 3D design software allows the 3D digital representation of components and tooling along with virtual simulation capability
• Automated generation of associative tooling design and machine code for manufacturing
Testing
• Ability to “test drive” a system design through VCS and ECS laboratory evaluation by simulating aircraft cabin thermal loads: passenger, electrical, solar, convective and high temperature bleed-air
Quality Assurance
• AS9100 compliant with AS9100 certification/registration expected during the first quarter of 2015
• Quality control inspection criteria developed jointly with customer
• Sampling inspection utilized as a means of acceptance for receiving incoming products
• Outgoing products receive a 100% visual and/or Acceptance Test Procedure (ATP) inspection
