Bengaluru, India – July 8, 2025 – In a landmark moment for India’s engineering design ecosystem, BEACON, a leading engineering solutions provider, in partnership with Leo AI, unveiled the world’s first AI-powered mechanical design copilot. The series of high-impact launch events were held across three major cities—Bengaluru (July 8), Pune (July 9), and Mumbai (July 11)—and drew enthusiastic participation from CXOs, product developers, and mechanical engineers.
Revolutionizing Mechanical Design with Leo AI
Leo AI is an advanced AI copilot specifically developed for mechanical engineers. Powered by a proprietary Large Mechanical Model (LMM), it has been trained on over a million engineering-grade sources such as ISO standards, technical handbooks, and manuals. Unlike generic AI tools, Leo AI is built to integrate seamlessly with CAD platforms like SOLIDWORKS, offering real-time, context-aware design support.
From automating geometry creation and part selection to transforming text descriptions or hand sketches into manufacturable 3D models, Leo AI is designed to significantly reduce design time, minimize errors, and enhance innovation.
Successful Multi-City Launch Events
- Bengaluru Launch: Held at Hotel Hyatt Centric, led by Ajay Kumar N, BEACON
- Pune Launch: Hosted at Hotel Sheraton Grand, led by Vishal B S, Technical Manager, BEACON
- Mumbai Launch: Conducted at Hotel Ramada by Wyndham, led by Anirudh K Ayachit, Enterprise Solutions Architect – India Operations, BEACON
All three events were part of BEACON’s CXO Innovation Forum, featuring a keynote by Mr. Sean Manzanares, Head of Global Sales and Strategic Partnerships, Leo AI, alongside Mr. Arumuga Nainar Ramaswamy, CEO of BEACON. Live demos of Leo AI’s integration with SOLIDWORKS showcased its ability to transform traditional engineering workflows.
“Leo AI is not just a tool—it’s a game-changing copilot redefining how engineers design, collaborate, and innovate,” said Sean Manzanares. “Our partnership with BEACON brings this transformative technology to India’s engineering community.”
Key Features of Leo AI
- Seamless CAD Integration: Connects directly with SOLIDWORKS, folder structures, and PDM systems for smart, contextual design support.
- Efficiency & Speed: Cuts early-stage design time by up to 70% by automating repetitive tasks.
- Smart Design Input Handling: Instantly converts rough sketches or text into 3D models, renders, and datasheets.
- Engineering Intelligence: Provides reference-backed answers using a massive database of validated engineering content.
- Error Detection: Applies design rules to identify issues early in the process.
- Enterprise-Ready Security: Supports on-premise deployment for IP-sensitive industries.
A Trusted AI Platform, Now in India
Already in use by over 50,000 engineers at leading organizations like Bosch, Intel, MIT, and Toyota, Leo AI has generated more than 100,000 AI-driven design concepts globally. Now, BEACON is bringing that same innovation to India’s doorstep.
“BEACON is proud to introduce Leo AI to India,” said Arumuga Nainar Ramaswamy, CEO of BEACON. “This collaboration empowers engineers to break barriers in design and innovation. The overwhelming response from CXOs at our launch events highlights the growing interest in AI-driven product development.”
With the successful launch of Leo AI, BEACON is paving the way for a new era of intelligent, efficient, and collaborative engineering design across India.
