RealCADBench: Benchmarking Parametric CAD Modeling from Industrial Design Intents

Parametric computer-aided design (CAD) modeling is difficult to evaluate with a single metric. Existing CAD benchmarks often emphasize synthetic or CAD-native settings, limited input modalities, or executability and IoUs alone. We introduce RealCADBench, a benchmark for intent-to-program CAD modeling from real industrial design intents. It contains 12,632 tasks from 19 factory-automation categories and spans text descriptions, 2D engineering drawings, real product pictures, and rendered images for both Part and Assembly modeling. We report results on a 1,770-task evaluation slice: 1,745 Part tasks across four input regimes and RCB-Assm25, a 25-task assembly study used in every reported assembly comparison. Each method generates FreeCAD API Python, which a shared runtime executes to export the 3D model. We evaluate the exported model using executability, Solid IoU, Surface IoU, and a rubric-based visual-semantic identity Judge. Among the nine standalone frontier large models evaluated, no model leads all four metrics. Across six frontier-scale large models, executability ranges from 0.565 to 0.812, Solid IoU from 0.2841 to 0.5379, and Surface IoU from 0.112 to 0.217 across the four Part regimes. The highest regime-balanced composite comes from a different model than the leaders on the four component metrics. On RCB-Assm25, Codex with GPT-5.5 improves executability and both IoU metrics over standalone GPT-5.5, but lowers the Judge score by 6.98 percentage points, leaving GPT-5.5 as the Judge leader. We also observe recurring failure modes, most notably missing fine structures, loss of part identity, and incorrect assembly placement. These results show that execution alone is insufficient to characterize realistic CAD modeling and that frontier models and agents differ substantially across executability, IoUs, and visual-semantic identity.

VisCAD: A Foundation Model Suite with Multimodal Industrial CAD Intelligence

AI-assisted computer-aided design (CAD) for industrial products involves two challenging phases. Part-level generation maps diverse forms of user intent, including renders, text descriptions, 2D drawings, and real photographs, to executable programs in a CAD domain-specific language. Assembly-level generation must additionally handle interacting parts, plan mating relations, estimate poses, and place all parts correctly. Existing specialized CAD models are commonly trained on narrow input domains, such as renders or texts, and often generalize poorly, while general-purpose frontier models cover broader inputs but perform inconsistently across CAD domains. We present VisCAD, a foundation model suite designed to provide both broad generalization and strong CAD capability for realistic industrial products. At its core is VisCAD-M1, a 27B model trained through mid-training and post-training for part-level design generation. On PubCADBench and RealCADBench, VisCAD-M1 achieves the highest average part-level score among the evaluated models, reaching 0.5540 compared with 0.5496 for the strongest frontier model. Reusing VisCAD-M1 as a test-time verifier can further raise the score to 0.5797, an approximately 5 percent relative improvement over the previous state of the art. VisCAD also includes a domain-specific harness that leverages frontier models for complex assembly generation and demonstrates advantages over general-purpose harnesses in both quantitative and qualitative evaluations.

An End-to-End Geometric Deficiency Elimination Algorithm for 3D Meshes

The 3D mesh is an important representation of geometric data. In the generation of mesh data, geometric deficiencies (e.g., duplicate elements, degenerate faces, isolated vertices, self-intersection, and inner faces) are unavoidable and may violate the topology structure of an object. In this paper, we propose an effective and efficient geometric deficiency elimination algorithm for 3D meshes. Specifically, duplicate elements can be eliminated by assessing the occurrence times of vertices or faces; degenerate faces can be removed according to the outer product of two edges; since isolated vertices do not appear in any face vertices, they can be deleted directly; self-intersecting faces are detected using an AABB tree and remeshed afterward; by simulating whether multiple random rays that shoot from a face can reach infinity, we can judge whether the surface is an inner face, then decide to delete it or not. Experiments on ModelNet40 dataset illustrate that our method can eliminate the deficiencies of the 3D mesh thoroughly.

Simultaneous 3D Object Segmentation and 6-DOF Pose Estimation

We propose a single-shot method for simultaneous 3D object segmentation and 6-DOF pose estimation in pure 3D point clouds scenes based on a consensus that \emph{one point only belongs to one object}, i.e., each point has the potential power to predict the 6-DOF pose of its corresponding object. Unlike the recently proposed methods of the similar task, which rely on 2D detectors to predict the projection of 3D corners of the 3D bounding boxes and the 6-DOF pose must be estimated by a PnP like spatial transformation method, ours is concise enough not to require additional spatial transformation between different dimensions. Due to the lack of training data for many objects, the recently proposed 2D detection methods try to generate training data by using rendering engine and achieve good results. However, rendering in 3D space along with 6-DOF is relatively difficult. Therefore, we propose an augmented reality technology to generate the training data in semi-virtual reality 3D space. The key component of our method is a multi-task CNN architecture that can simultaneously predicts the 3D object segmentation and 6-DOF pose estimation in pure 3D point clouds. For experimental evaluation, we generate expanded training data for two state-of-the-arts 3D object datasets \cite{PLCHF}\cite{TLINEMOD} by using Augmented Reality technology (AR). We evaluate our proposed method on the two datasets. The results show that our method can be well generalized into multiple scenarios and provide performance comparable to or better than the state-of-the-arts.
