arXiv:2605. 01171v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Despite recent progress, recovering parametric CAD construction sequences from geometric input, such as meshes or point clouds, is a key challenge for design and manufacturing, as existing CAD reconstruction and generation methods are largely restricted to difficult-to-edit formats like meshes or Breps or editable simple sketch-and-extrude pipelines and low-complexity datasets.

Computer-aided design (CAD) for industrial components requires long-horizon procedural modeling, robust feature dependencies, editable parametric geometry, and production-grade B-Rep execution. Existing text-to-CAD methods have made promising progress in generating CAD programs from natural-language descriptions, but they still struggle when user prompts are ambiguous, underspecified, or only describe high-level design intent.
arXiv:2606. 13368v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: 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.

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.

AgenticCADedit introduces a stateful, tool‑mediated approach to multimodal 3D CAD editing, transforming the process from generating a single complete program to executing a sequence of incremental, verifiable actions on a persistent CAD state. By committing each step, inspecting geometry, and selectively reverting faulty operations, the method preserves partial progress and builds upon earlier edits. Experiments across three large language models show substantial gains in validity and acceptance, with the weakest baseline model’s validity rising from 51.0% to 94.8% and a token‑cost reduction of 66.7% compared to neuralCAD‑Edit.

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.
