TraceParts and Leo AI Form Partnership

There’s an AI model from Leo AI built specifically for mechanical engineers and combined with TraceParts’ catalog. TraceParts is an engineering content platform that has over 6 million users in over 195 countries.

TraceParts catalogs 112 million plus searchable part numbers and more than 2,100+ supplier catalogs, it offers billions of 2D and 3D models for download in 60+ different formats.

Leo AI and the LMM

Leo AI developed the Large Mechanical Model (LMM)—foundational AI built specifically for the mechanical domain. Unlike language models that process words, the LMM understands parts, geometry, CAD files, physical properties, and engineering standards.

The LMM can break parts into tokens and assemble them into subassemblies.

A New Part Search Experience

With this partnership, Leo’s AI-powered search can access TraceParts’  catalog alongside a company’s PLM data.
Instead of juggling filters, engineers can type:

“Find me a ball bearing with a 25 mm inner diameter, a lifespan of 10,000 cycles, and a speed of 8,000 RPM.”

Leo’s LMM interprets the request, asks clarifying questions if needed, and retrieves results directly from internal systems or TraceParts’ 2,100+ catalogs. This happens inside Leo’s desktop app, complete with 3D visualization, supplier data, and validation tools, and CAD downloads.

 Value for Mechanical Engineers

• A new way to search – free-text queries that combine price, supplier, material, geography, and CAD-level properties.
• Save time – not only find the part in minutes, but also run calculations against datasets, standards, and engineering guidelines.
• Avoid design mistakes – choose the optimal part by balancing cost, quality, standards, and availability.
