arXiv:2605. 10873v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recovering editable CAD programs from images or 3D observations is central to AI-assisted design, but progress is difficult to measure because existing evaluations are fragmented across datasets, modalities, and metrics.
The paper introduces SightCAD, a framework for parametric CAD reconstruction that explicitly handles view feasibility constraints in realistic indoor scenes. It learns a view selector to choose a small set of feasible viewpoints for a vision‑language model that generates executable CadQuery code, and jointly trains the selector and the VLM using a reward that depends on the final geometric fidelity. The approach outperforms baseline methods on several benchmarks, achieving higher intersection‑over‑union scores and a lower invalid‑code rate.
arXiv:2607. 05573v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) and Vision-Language Models (VLMs) enable the automatic generation of parametric 3D designs from natural-language specifications.

RealCADBench is a new benchmark for evaluating intent‑to‑program parametric CAD modeling, featuring 12,632 tasks drawn from 19 factory‑automation categories and covering text, 2D drawings, product photos, and rendered images for both Part and Assembly modeling. The study reports results on a 1,770‑task evaluation slice, using metrics such as executability, Solid IoU, Surface IoU, and a rubric‑based visual‑semantic identity Judge. Across nine standalone and six frontier‑scale large models, no single model dominates all four metrics, highlighting diverse strengths and failure modes like missing fine structures and incorrect assembly placement.
arXiv:2605. 28579v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have recently advanced text-driven 3D generation, yet Text-to-CAD remains far from supporting industrial product design.
arXiv:2608.28669v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recovering an executable parametric CAD program from an observed object is fundamentally ambiguous, because the same final geometry can result from dif...

arXiv:2605. 30581v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Industrial visual sim-to-real is often described as transferring from synthetic images to real images, but industrial deployment usually involves a broader mismatch between available evidence and required decisions.
Vision2Code is a new benchmark for image-to-code generation that covers 15 domains and 539 test examples without relying on reference source code. It evaluates generated programs by executing them and comparing rendered outputs to the original images using domain‑specific rubrics, yielding scores that correlate better with human judgments than generic metrics. The study shows domain variability in model performance and demonstrates that the scoring method can improve fine‑tuning of models like Qwen3.5‑9B and Phi‑4‑MM via rejection sampling.
The paper introduces a CAD‑free 3D shape prior that enhances object recognition by reconstructing each object with 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) from short RGB‑D scans and fusing the resulting shape prototype with frozen DINOv2 image features. Experiments on T‑LESS and HOPE datasets show that geometry alone can match or exceed CAD‑based recognition, and that the combined approach improves performance, especially on shape‑distinctive or partially occluded objects. The study demonstrates that the benefit comes from the geometric information rather than rendered pixels, and that the prior is complementary to frozen vision features.
