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.

RealCADBench: Benchmarking Parametric CAD Modeling from Industrial Design Intents

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.

Language-Augmented Semantic Priors for B-Spline Surface Fitting

The paper introduces LASP, a framework that uses large language models to generate structured B‑spline priors from procedural modeling histories. By translating design intent into rich textual descriptions, LASP provides semantic reasoning that guides conventional CAD solvers toward more accurate and coherent surface fitting. Experiments show that language‑driven priors outperform traditional machine learning approaches, establishing a new paradigm for language‑guided geometric optimization.
