Can AI Write CAD? Testing LLM-Generated 3D Models for Manufacturability
A student’s test plan for checking whether LLMs can write usable parametric CAD: five parts, fixed pass/fail rules, and manufacturability checks.
On a mission to explore artificial intelligence's potential in crafting mechanical designs, a mechanical engineering student has embarked on a rigorous experiment. The premise is simple: if an AI can generate code, can it also produce a functional 3D mechanical design? This research, unfolding in multiple parts, seeks to establish concrete metrics for evaluating AI-generated CAD models, bridging the gap between a functional script and a structurally sound part.
