Leo AI just received its second US patent - and it’s a big one.
After building the world’s first CAD-aware AI assistant for mechanical engineers, Leo has now secured a patent for its proprietary technology that assembles mechanical parts into functioning systems. Think of it as GPT for mechanical assemblies.
This is the foundation of what will soon become a new way to engineer.
What’s Actually in the Patent?
The newly granted patent (official number coming soon) protects our AI model’s ability to:
Understand CAD parts and geometry
Predict which parts work together
Automatically assemble components based on engineering constraints
In simpler terms: you tell Leo what system you want to build - and it builds it.
For example, instead of manually modeling a suspension system for a 500 kg vehicle, you’ll soon be able to say:
"Design a suspension system that fits this chassis and supports a 500 kg load, using our in-house part library."
Leo will run the calculations, choose the parts, and assemble it - all within your CAD environment.
This was after they got granted their first Patent
Earlier this year, Leo AI’s first patent was granted:
“Computerized System and Method for 3D CAD Design Generation” (US Patent No. 18/907,937).
This patent laid the groundwork for Leo’s core technology: generating full CAD assemblies using AI.
That milestone unlocked workflows like:
Converting design goals into functional CAD files
Reducing engineering iteration time
Making mechanical design accessible for non-experts
Together with this second patent, Leo AI is now building the world’s first LMM - Large Mechanical Model - a new kind of AI trained specifically on mechanical data.
Why It Matters
General AI tools like GPT and Claude are great with text. But they were never built to understand CAD or mechanical logic.
Leo is different.
It’s trained on over 1 million engineering sources, customer documentation, and CAD models - achieving 96% accuracy in engineering queries (compared to 46% from GPT).
For engineers, this means:
Fewer hours spent on repetitive modeling
Faster access to relevant components
Assembly suggestions that actually work
What’s Coming Next?
We're not stopping here.
Soon, Leo will also:
Search your internal parts folders and PLM systems
Suggest improvements based on organizational standards
Integrate seamlessly with Onshape and other CAD platforms
