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.

arXiv:2603. 05607v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Computer-Aided Design (CAD) relies on structured and editable geometric representations, yet existing generative methods are constrained by small annotated datasets with explicit design histories or boundary representation (BRep) labels.

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.

IterCAD introduces an iterative program‑repair framework for generating executable parametric CAD code from dimension‑annotated orthographic drawings. Unlike one‑shot vision‑language models, IterCAD repeatedly evaluates the current CAD output, identifies discrepancies with the target views, and decides whether to revise the code or stop refining. The authors build a structured revise‑or‑stop dataset (IterCAD‑RS) and a three‑stage training pipeline—initial generation, revision learning, and multi‑turn reinforcement learning—to enable this progressive correction, achieving higher code executability and geometric fidelity on the CADExpert benchmark.
