Reverse Engineering CAD from 3D Scans

Converting Point Clouds to Editable CAD Sequences

CAD-Recode introduces a breakthrough approach for reconstructing editable CAD models from 3D point cloud data by reverse engineering the exact sketch and operation sequences used to create 3D models.

  • Develops a novel CAD sequence representation framework that translates point clouds into editable CAD instructions
  • Introduces innovative network architecture specifically designed for processing and reconstructing CAD operations
  • Creates a comprehensive training dataset to support robust reverse engineering capabilities
  • Enables recovery of design intent and parametric information that pure mesh reconstructions lack

This research transforms engineering workflows by allowing direct conversion of 3D scans into fully editable CAD models, eliminating the need for manual recreation and preserving the parametric nature of original designs.
