GenCAD: Generating Editable Parametric CAD Models From Images

Most AI 3D generators hand you a mesh - a shell of triangles you can render and 3D-print, but barely edit. Open one in Fusion 360 or SolidWorks and you cannot change a fillet radius, move a hole, or adjust a sketch dimension. The design intent is gone; you are left with frozen surface geometry. For anyone building design automation, CAD plugins, or AI-assisted engineering tools, that limitation is the whole problem. GenCAD, a research project on generative AI for computer-aided design, takes the harder route.
