Leo AI: Mechanical Design Assistance At Your Fingertips

Engineering teams are under growing pressure to deliver better products, faster. While traditional CAD and PLM systems have helped streamline processes, the next phase of innovation lies in intelligent design support. This is not just about automation. It’s about applying engineering insight at scale.

Visiativ is proud to be the first partner to bring Leo AI to the UK market. Already used by thousands of engineers across Europe and the United States, Leo AI is a domain-specific AI copilot developed to assist mechanical designers throughout the entire design process. It provides immediate, intelligent input that reflects real engineering principles.

A Copilot Built for Engineers

Leo AI is powered by a proprietary Large Mechanical Model (LMM), trained on millions of engineering documents and component datasets. Unlike general-purpose tools, it understands the function, constraints and performance considerations behind each design decision. It can answer complex engineering queries, suggest appropriate components, and even generate native CAD files that are editable and functionally sound.

Leo AI integrates directly into existing workflows. Whether you are searching for supplier parts, developing a new assembly, or reusing designs from past projects, Leo AI provides support at the point of need. Its knowledge is grounded in real data, and its results reflect the standards and expectations of professional mechanical design.

Why Visiativ Is Leading the Way

At Visiativ, we support engineering innovation through practical tools that deliver measurable outcomes. Our long-standing expertise in CAD design and complete digital transformation puts us in a strong position to help teams adopt Leo AI in a way that fits their existing processes.

By becoming the first partner of Leo AI in the UK and Ireland, we’re enabling companies to access a proven solution that is already delivering value in high-performance design environments. Our local support, technical integration services and industry understanding ensure that teams can adopt the technology with confidence.

Benefits for Design & Engineering Teams

• Security and data ownership: Leo AI runs locally, keeping your IP protected.

• Time savings: Generate CAD geometry, access past designs, and resolve design queries quickly.

• Consistency and reuse: Reduce duplication by reapplying existing knowledge and components.

• Adaptability: Use Leo AI across early-stage concepts, detailed design, and part selection.

Product Design Idea Generation with Leo AI

By harnessing Leo AI to generate product design ideas, engineers can accelerate the early stages of concept development with unprecedented speed and creativity. The tool analyses design requirements and quickly proposes alternative solutions, enabling teams to explore a wider design space before committing to detailed development. This not only reduces time spent on repetitive modelling tasks but also inspires fresh approaches that may not have been immediately apparent. With Leo AI acting as a collaborative assistant, designers are empowered to refine, adapt, and innovate more effectively.

Scalable for All Team Sizes

Leo AI is available in multiple tiers to meet the needs of start-ups, mid-sized businesses and enterprise-level organisations. Whether you are focused on rapid development or managing global design operations, there is a package that suits your requirements. Visiativ provides guidance, onboarding and ongoing support throughout your adoption journey.

Engineering with Intelligence

Leo AI represents a shift in how engineering teams can approach problem-solving and design. It supports engineers, rather than replacing them, by amplifying their ability to deliver smarter, more efficient outcomes.

With Visiativ offering Leo AI in the UK & Ireland for the first time, engineering and manufacturing firms now have the opportunity to lead rather than follow. This is a chance to rethink design workflows, reduce unnecessary effort and make better use of existing knowledge.
