Over the last month the team at LEAP has really clocked up the frequent flyer miles, travelling to a range of events across Australia and New Zealand, including a Hackathon in Auckland, government facilitated technology seminars across Queensland, an IoT conference/exhibition in Sydney and student showcase in Melbourne. September saw the LEAP PTC team head to New Zealand to help mentor students during the 2019 IoT/AR Hackathon, held in conjunction with the University of Auckland & Callaghan Innovation. Judges included experts from both the university, Callaghan Innovation as well as a representative from the New Zealand IoT Alliance. During the Hackathon, University of Auckland students across 6 teams tackled real world problems supplied by a diverse range of local companies with the goal of harnessing the...
Here at LEAP Australia, we already know how good the IoT and PLM tools from PTC are - Thingworx and Windchill - after all, we work with them every day! But how do they stack up when reviewed by completely independent third-party researchers such as Gartner, Forrester and ABI Research? Well we’ve put together a compilation of the most recent independent assessments of IoT platforms and PLM that have been completed in the last 12 months - in each case, the criteria was wide ranging including objective measures such as: - capabilities of vendor’s current technology - installed customer base using their technology worldwide - completeness of roadmap / vision, and - ability to execute. In each report, PTC’s IoT and PLM technology emerged...
[Editorial Note: from June 2018, the AR app referred to in this blog is now known on all app stores as Vuforia View]: Thanks to Monash Motorsport (MMS) for the invitation to their 2017 Launch last week. The team at LEAP is proud to be a long-standing partner of the MMS team, and we were excited to work with them this year to deliver a new Augmented Reality (AR) experience to help showcase their M17-C and M17-E cars on launch night, and also use AR to highlight components on the car from key sponsors. On launch night, we were able to showcase these AR experiences using the Microsoft Hololens (see video below), plus provide a take-away AR experience on a flyer for all attendees to...
PTC LiveWorx returned to Boston in 2016 and a major focus was the power and potential of the Internet of Things which was showcased through use cases, demonstrations and industry speakers. PTC announced a number of new connected service solutions at the four-day event including the PTC Remote Service which enables service and support technicians to remotely identify, diagnose and resolve issues while continuously monitoring key performance parameters in connected equipment. Also introduced was PTC Connected Service Parts Management with which service organisations can utilise data from connected assets directly to more accurately forecast and plan service parts demand. During his opening keynote, PTC President and CEO Jim Heppelmann discussed the power and capability of the IoT through live demonstrations with customer companies, including Caterpillar Inc., the...
3DConnexion recently unveiled the SpaceMouse Enterprise, their latest (and greatest) 3D motion controller offering to date.

These configurable on-screen buttons automatically update as you change applications or environments so you will always be ready to tackle your next task with maximum efficiency. Powered by 3DxWare 10, the SpaceMouse Enterprise can be easily configured to the way you work, allowing you to assign buttons to each application or environment (such as a part, assembly, drawing) and tailor other useful settings to your needs. For complete modelling efficiency, the SpaceMouse Enterprise is also available in a kit that includes the CadMouse, CadMouse Pad and...
KeyShot is the fastest and easiest to use 3D CAD renderer available. With industry leading render speed, Keyshot is several times faster than most native render engines of CAD software and other 3D rendering software on the market. Unlike most other 3D renderers, Keyshot does not have a steep learning curve allowing CAD users to become proficient in Keyshot after only a couple of hours learning. The rendered models below speak for themselves… “KeyShot allows for the quickest exploration of CMF (colors, materials, and finishes) which can help determine if the design’s shape, movement, shadows and highlights, are complimentary to the CMF.” For more information, see “Igor Sobolevsky and Keyshot”. “KeyShot is simple to deploy and use on non-standard products, a user-friendly software that is...
