Abstract

Multi-stage boundary representation (B-Rep) generation leverages intermediate wireframes to synthesize CAD models. However, geometric and topological risks in these wireframes -- such as self-intersections, edge collapses, and disconnected vertices -- can propagate to invalid final B-Reps. Mitigating such failures by retraining large generative models is computationally prohibitive. We propose Wireframe Detection and Repair (WDR), a training-free framework that intervenes at the intermediate wireframe stage to improve downstream B-Rep validity. WDR features a Geometric-Topology Anomaly Detector (GTAD) that combines parallel VLM-based coarse screening with geometric and topological detectors to predict downstream invalidity risk and route generation to dedicated branches. An Energy-Guided Geometric-Topology Repair (EGGTR) module then performs detector-triggered guided regeneration through geometry and topology branches. By scaling test-time computation via Energy-Guided Resampling and training-free guidance for diffusion models, WDR can be integrated into autoregressive and diffusion pipelines without retraining. Extensive experiments demonstrate consistent improvements in kernel-checked validity while largely retaining the measured diversity and distributional quality of synthesized CAD models. The code will be made publicly available upon acceptance.

BrepCoder: A Unified Multimodal Large Language Model for Multi-task B-rep Reasoning

Recent advancements in deep learning have actively addressed complex challenges within the Computer-Aided Design (CAD) domain.However, most existing approaches rely on task-specifi c models requiring structural modifi cations for new tasks, and they predominantly focus on point clouds or images rather than the industry-standard Boundary Representation (B-rep) format. To address these limitations, we propose BrepCoder, a unifi ed Multimodal Large Language Model (MLLM) that performs diverse CAD tasks from B-rep inputs. By leveraging the code generation capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs), we convert CAD modeling sequences into Python-like code and align them with B-rep. We then adopt a two-stage training strategy: First, pre-training on reverse engineering to learn geometric features and design logic. Second, eff ectively extending the model to various downstream tasks such as completion, error correction, and CAD-QA. Consequently, by interpreting B-rep as structural code, BrepCoder achieves superior generalization across diverse tasks, demonstrating its potential as a general-purpose CAD agent.

Autoregressive B-Rep Shape Generation with Parametric Surfaces

Generative CAD modeling has broad design and application potential. Despite significant advances in Boundary Representation (B-Rep) generation, the dominant representation in CAD, existing methods largely depend on uniformly sampled point- or grid-based geometry representations, sacrificing native surface types and parameters and thereby limiting geometric fidelity and downstream usability. We present ParaCAD, an autoregressive framework for point-cloud-conditioned B-Rep generation that directly operates on native parametric surfaces. ParaCAD introduces a surface-centric tokenization that explicitly encodes each face by its exact surface type and continuous parameters, preserving the intrinsic semantics of CAD geometry. Our model first generates parametric surfaces with constrained UV domains, and then constructs a valid B-Rep by globally intersecting these surfaces to recover edges and vertices. ParaCAD places point-cloud-conditioned generation at the core of B-Rep synthesis, making it practical for user-guided reconstruction and seamless integration into existing 3D generation pipelines. Extensive experiments demonstrate that ParaCAD produces accurate B-Reps with faithful point-cloud alignment, outperforming point-based baselines in geometric precision, robustness, watertightness and downstream usability.

Masked Topology Modeling for Self-Supervised Learning on Parametric CAD

Computer aided design (CAD) is ubiquitous: virtually any modern object was designed using editable CAD tools. However, with the shortage of available CAD datasets in its native editable and parametric format, boundary representation (B-Rep), it is ever more important to develop data-efficient methods for this domain. We present a new self-supervised pretraining task, Masked Topology Modeling (MTM), that leverages the face-adjacency graph, an induced structure unique to B-reps that the encoder can be asked to reconstruct. MTM masks a fraction of edges and trains a small head to predict each masked edge's convexity and curve type from the encoder's post-message-passing face features. We combine MTM with a MoCo-style momentum-queue contrastive learning over B-rep-aware augmentations, a BFS-connected face-region masked-reconstruction objective, and pretraining on the ABC dataset and our new procedurally generated dataset to show strong performance on a number of benchmarks.
