Image2Gcode: Image-to-G-code Generation for Additive Manufacturing Using Diffusion-Transformer Model

arXiv CS.LG

ArXi:2511.20636v3 Announce Type: replace Mechanical design and manufacturing workflows conventionally begin with conceptual design, followed by the creation of a computer-aided design (CAD) model and fabrication through material-extrusion (MEX) printing. This process requires converting CAD geometry into machine-readable G-code through slicing and path planning. While each step is well established, dependence on CAD modeling remains a major bottleneck: constructing object-specific 3D geometry is slow and poorly suited to rapid prototyping.
