arXiv:2606.13368v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Computer-Aided Design is pivotal in modern manufacturing, yet existing automated methods predominantly rely on open-loop, one-shot generation, creating a mismatch with iterative real-world practices. In this paper, we present IterCAD, a unified multimodal agent framework for closed-loop, interactive CAD generation and editing. We formulate the task as a multi-turn interaction between a multimodal agent and an executable CAD sandbox, covering three tasks: Drawing-to-Code, Text-to-Code, and Interactive Editing. To support this, we develop a data sy
The proliferation of advanced AI models and growing demand for automated design processes convergent with increasing computational power enable the development of sophisticated multimodal agents like IterCAD.
Automated, closed-loop CAD generation and editing can significantly accelerate product development cycles, reduce design costs, and streamline manufacturing across various industries.
The shift from one-shot, open-loop CAD generation to interactive, iterative, and multimodal AI-driven design processes changes the fundamental workflow for engineers and designers.
