Case Study: Leechi Machinery achieves CAD consolidation and streamlined design-to-manufacturing with Solid Edge

Bicycle components manufacturer uses Solid Edge to streamline design-through-manufacturing process

Leechi Machinery Industry Ltd. Co., a Taiwan-based bicycle components manufacturer founded in 1973 that supplies mid- and high-end parts to major brands, faced mounting inefficiencies from juggling multiple CAD packages and processing many non‑native customer design files. To consolidate its design-to-manufacturing workflow and improve file management, the company evaluated and deployed Solid Edge (together with CAM Express and Insight from Siemens Digital Industries Software) as a single integrated CAD/CAM and data-management solution.

By adopting Solid Edge’s synchronous technology and Insight data management, Leechi eliminated the need for multiple CAD systems, streamlined drawing communication, and sped up design-change cycles—allowing engineers to modify imported models faster and output 2D drawings directly without additional software. The Solid Edge implementation improved downstream processing accuracy, reduced wasted time and resources from errors, and strengthened design-change management across R&D and manufacturing.
