Steam Machines Inc. (SMI) is a specialized engineering house and contract manufacturer headquartered in Lebanon, Tennessee. Founded in 1996, the company operates as a high-tech prototype house and service provider, offering end-to-end technical solutions from initial concept and virtual simulation to low-volume production. SMI serves a diverse range of sectors including recreational and commercial diving, military, aerospace, and marine biology. The company is a recognized leader in life support and marine engineering, specializing in closed-circuit rebreathers (UBA), such as the PRISM Topaz and PRISM Invader Series. Their extensive product portfolio includes oxygen sensors, carbon dioxide monitoring solutions, emergency breathing systems for submarines, hyperbaric treatment packs, and specialized diving accessories like harnesses, mouthpieces, and tanks. Beyond diving equipment, SMI has engineered large-scale marine animal transport systems, including 13,000kg wide-body aircraft tanks with integrated life support. Operating a facility equipped for advanced custom parts manufacturing, SMI utilizes fully computerized CNC machining, vertical milling centers, lathes, and molding facilities. Their technical capabilities encompass CAD, CAM, and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) for design validation, as well as 3D printing and stereolithography for rapid prototyping. The company works with a wide array of materials, ranging from standard steels and plastics to advanced composites, exotic alloys, and high-temperature ceramics. With a focus on quality and continuity, Steam Machines Inc. provides comprehensive support for projects requiring up to 2,000 parts per annum, ensuring seamless transitions from design to finished product.

SMI’s talents are best described as a “prototype house.” With in-house production capabilities optimized for low-volume production volumes (up to approx. 2000 parts per annum), we have both machining and molding facilities, allowing us to help our clients maximize their investment in and get the best out of their designs. Our machine shop operates C.N.C. mills and lathes, generating CAM programs from the solid model CAD drawings. This allows us to make low-volume production runs to help speed the time to market for clients’ products. Frequently, the machine shop is employed to create a “Master” part for the client (typically slightly over-sized to allow for shrinkage) and then this part is passed to the mold shop where it is used to create molded parts in a multitude of materials to verify the best material for the application. Having this ability in-house allows SMI to offer the client one-stop shopping and the advantages of continuity in staff, following a project from concept to completion, eliminating the problems typically encountered when a product is transferred from one company to another through its typical design-to-product life cycle.

We offer a full range of design support services. Everything you need to take your “napkin sketch” to finished product and all it entails in between. We work closely with you to provide more than just a 3D model and drawing package of your idea; we are able to test prototypes, manufacture concept demonstrators, and meet low-volume production needs. We help you refine your design, create a virtual model of it, and test it. We then streamline the design to meet the optimal manufacturing technique for your target market and production needs; i.e. casting, molding, or machining. We provide insight into the best materials for the application from standard steels, brass, aluminum, or plastics, to more advanced and exotic composites, high-temperature epoxies, high-strength modern aluminum alloys, and specialty stainless steel and alloys.
