CADENA: Stepwise CAD Reverse Engineering
CADENA rebuilds a mesh as an editable CAD program one operation at a time, checking the geometry after each step.
The authors frame that as closer to how engineers reverse-engineer mechanical parts than one-shot CAD generation. They also introduce CADENA-Bench to evaluate reverse-engineering performance across mechanical part categories. The model beats prior methods on CADENA-Bench and on DeepCAD, Fusion 360, and MCB, according to the paper. Code, model weights, and the benchmark are listed as available. HF Daily Papers' note
