CADFather is an autonomous system that reconstructs editable CAD models from 3D meshes by coordinating vision‑language assistants, learned and algorithmic tools, and numerical optimization. It evaluates and refines candidate CAD programs, maintaining alternatives for each part and preserving the best valid result throughout reconstruction. The system uses pretrained models without additional training and is evaluated on multiple benchmark datasets for reconstruction quality and execution validity.

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: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.

Abstract: Recovering an executable parametric CAD program from an observed object is fundamentally ambiguous, because the same final geometry can result from dif...

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.
