Learn the Solid, Not the File: Canonical Inputs for Neural Networks on CAD Boundary Representations
Boundary representation (B-rep) is the standard format used by modern CAD systems for parametric 3D models. It turns out, the exact same solid can be represented by different B-reps: for example, two engineers using different operations, a geometry kernel rebuilding the file, and an export setting repartitioning faces will lead to different B-reps even though the underlying solid remains the…
