At SouthMACH 2025, LEAP was proud to collaborate with the amazing team at Christchurch-based Tait Communications to showcase the extensive design and engineering that goes into Tait products, such as the TP9800 and 9900 professional portable radios.

SouthMACH was a fantastic opportunity for the LEAP team to connect with the local engineering and manufacturering community to talk all things computer-aided engineering, product design & development and ditital transformation.

In the video below, Malcolm Falconer, Senior Mechanical Design Engineer at Tait Communications, explains about how Tait uses PTC Creo 3D CAD to design, collaborate and visualise their product designs and enable rapid virtual prototyping; as well as PTC Windchill PLM, which the team uses to secure Tait’s CAD data to enhance collaboration, reduce errors and for revision control during the design and development process. Specific to the AR display at SouthMACH, Malcolm also speaks about the range of use cases of AR shown using the TP9800 radio that apply to sales & marketing, manufacturing and training/assembly instructions.
