Foundation Models for Automatic CAD Generation

Abstract

arXiv:2607.05573v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) and Vision-Language Models (VLMs) enable the automatic generation of parametric 3D designs from natural-language specifications. This chapter presents an empirical study of foundation models for automatic Computer-Aided Design (CAD) generation of mechanical parts, using a unified evaluation pipeline and a curated benchmark of 97 engineering design problems. We introduce LLMForge, a multi-model text-to
