Boundary representation (B‑rep) is the standard format for parametric 3D models in CAD systems, yet the same solid can be encoded by different B‑reps due to varying operations, kernel rebuilds, or export settings. Existing B‑rep encoders fail to handle these variations, collapsing on standard benchmarks and real‑world perturbations. The authors introduce the canonical region graph, an input representation derived directly from the solid, which offers theoretical invariance to repartitioning and rigid motions and performs as well as the best baseline while remaining stable across all tested perturbations.

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.

Implicit Neural Representations (INRs) have become the standard for continuous 2D shape modeling, but they suffer from black-box uneditability, vulnerability to noise, and high parameter counts that severely hinder deployment on edge devices. We introduce Fluid-SDF, a highly compressed, differentiable Constructive Solid Geometry (CSG) framework that models shapes using explicit geometric primitives blended via a smooth minimum function.

KaiNinja extends the native 3D generator TRELLIS.2 to produce part-level meshes by introducing a dual‑volume representation that overcomes the single‑sheet limitation of the O‑Voxel grid. It maintains TRELLIS.2’s speed and quality while eliminating the need for external segmentation, and is trained on diverse data including CAD models and assets created by an LLM‑driven agent. The method improves whole‑object fidelity and outperforms other part‑generation pipelines, reducing Chamfer distance by 40% and increasing strict part F‑score by 16%.
