CADKnitter: Compositional CAD Generation from Text and Geometry Guidance

CADKnitter is a compositional CAD generation framework that uses geometric-guiding cues to steer diffusion sampling, enabling the creation of complementary CAD parts that satisfy both geometric constraints of an existing model and semantic constraints from a text prompt. The authors introduce KnitCAD, a dataset of over 310,000 CAD models paired with textual prompts and assembly metadata to support training and evaluation. Experiments show that CADKnitter outperforms state‑of‑the‑art baselines by a clear margin.

VisCAD: A Foundation Model Suite with Multimodal Industrial CAD Intelligence

VisCAD is a foundation model suite that tackles AI-assisted computer-aided design for industrial products, covering both part-level and assembly-level generation. Its core component, VisCAD‑M1, is a 27B model trained for part-level design generation and outperforms existing models on PubCADBench and RealCADBench, achieving a part-level score of 0.5540 and reaching 0.5797 when used as a test-time verifier. VisCAD also offers a domain-specific harness that improves complex assembly generation compared to general-purpose harnesses, showing quantitative and qualitative advantages.

IterCAD: An Iterative Multimodal Agent for Visually-Grounded CAD Generation and Editing

Computer-Aided Design is pivotal in modern manufacturing, yet existing automated methods predominantly rely on open-loop, one-shot generation, creating a mismatch with iterative real-world practices. In this paper, we present IterCAD, a unified multimodal agent framework for closed-loop, interactive CAD generation and editing.
