Rethinking Human Intent-to-CAD: Parametric CAD Model Generation via Cooperative Multi-Task Alignment and Spatial-Aware Reinforcement Learning

Based on this, we introduce HiCAD, a two-stage framework comprising Cooperative Multi-Task Alignment to bridge the representational gap between heterogeneous inputs, and Spatial-Aware Reinforcement Learning to enforce geometric and topological consistency.

Key points

  • Parametric Computer-Aided-Design (CAD) modeling from human intent remains challenging, particularly during the conceptual design stage, where design goals are expressed through incomplete and unstructured modalities (e.g., hand-drawn sketches and textual descriptions).
  • In this work, we rethink the human intent-to-CAD pipeline and propose a unified method that directly maps multi-level human intents to executable codes, without assuming the prior existence of target CAD models.
  • To support our study, we construct HiCAD, the first large-scale dataset aligning hand-drawn sketches, textual descriptions, and parametric CAD codes.
  • Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method significantly outperforms existing baselines across multiple tasks, validating its effectiveness and robustness in transforming heterogeneous human intents into high-fidelity parametric CAD models.
