The Intelligent Product Lifecycle facilitates digital transformation by building structured product data foundations in engineering and extending the value of that data across the enterprise. These product data foundations also become the backbone of AI-driven transformation across the business.
The Intelligent Product Lifecycle begins in your engineering department. The product data that powers the rest of your enterprise is created here – defining your hardware, software, and systems requirements, selecting your product’s materials, designing your 3D CAD models, developing your bills of material, and so on.
LEAP Australia is the leading engineering software solutions provider in Australia and New Zealand, for over 20 years we have assisted thousands of companies with their design and engineering problems.
LEAP’s support team has unrivaled expertise with PTC software, covering Computer Aided Design (CAD), Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), Application Lifecycle Management (ALM), Service Lifecycle Management (SLM), Augmented Reality (AR) and Internet of Things (IoT). Our expertise enables process transformation and delivers closed-loop lifecycle management for smart, connected products and operations across your entire enterprise: from engineering to manufacturing, sales through to service.
Beyond the typical use of PLM in managing product data during design stages, the third instalment of our Intelligent Product Lifecycle series showcases the applicability of Windchill PLM into manufacturing incl. production, service, and sustainment. We discuss how Windchill’s design planning, configuration management, and change management capabilities (including the integration of AI technology) helps to streamline processes across an organisation.
In this second instalment of the series we shift our focus deeper into the design phase, exploring the central role that the Bill of Materials (BOM), configuration management, change management and project management play within the Intelligent Product Lifecycle.
In this first instalment of our Intelligent Product Lifecycle series, learn how Windchill’s PDM capabilities form the foundation for maximising the value of your product data across the enterprise.
The second instalment of our two-part Creo 12 webinar series focused enhancements to Creo’s integrated design, simulation, and manufacturing capabilities. In this article we provide the highlights of that presentation, demonstrating how Creo 12 provides industry-leading composite capabilities, expanded Model-Based Definition, improved real-time simulation, and streamlined manufacturing workflows.
The LEAP PTC team recently ran a two-part webinar series outlining the key updates and enhancements included in Creo 12, designed to simplify workflows and improve usability. In this article we have provided video highlights of the presentation including live demonstrations of these exciting new features in action.
Creo Simulate Elite features structural analysis tools that allow you to evaluate product integrity inside the design phase and within the familiar Creo environment, and is included in the latest Creo subscription bundles (Creo Design Essentials, Creo Design Advanced and Creo Design Advanced Professional). In this article which includes highlights from our recent webinar on the topic, we discuss Creo Simulate Elite’s capabilities, walk you through the installation process, explain the simulation workflow and finally, demonstrate Creo Simulate Elite in action.
In this blog we highlight the latest innovations featured in our recent webinar on KeyShot 2025.2, where we unveiled powerful AI-driven features designed to streamline your workflow, enhance visual quality and help your business achieve more in less time. From delivering faster, cleaner renders with minimal manual effort to suggesting intelligent materials and lighting that expedite design decisions, KeyShot 2025.2 offers the tools you need to gain a competitive edge with quicker turnarounds and higher-quality visuals.
PTC has updated its desktop products license management system for applications like Creo, Mathcad, and more — covering both floating and node-locked licenses. In this article we have provided the key takeaways from a recent webinar delivered by Ben Muston, Senior Application Engineer at LEAP who walks through how license administrators can request, retrieve and manage licenses, including host changes, to help ensure an optimal setup for all users within your team.
Creo provides automated annotation features that enhance productivity and improve accuracy in the design and documentation processes. By reducing the manual effort associated with annotation tasks and ensuring consistency across models and documentation, these features support a more efficient workflow for engineers and designers. As part of our Creo Best-Practices webinar series, Ben Muston, Senior Application Engineer at LEAP recently covered these features in depth, and here we have summarised the key take aways and provided the video hightlights.
Among the many creative and diverse entries to our 2025 KeyShot Challenge competition were two submitted by Edward Poropat, Industrial Designer at Alchin Long Group that caught our eye. In this article, Edward provides some background on his two submissions, explaining each design and the processes he went through to create his fantastic renders.
