PatchAlign3D: Local Feature Alignment for Dense 3D Shape Understanding
PatchAlign3D is an encoder-only 3D model that produces language-aligned patch-level features directly from point clouds. It enables zero-shot 3D part segmentation with fast single-pass inference without requiring test-time multi-view rendering.

Sample Usage
You can run inference on a single shape and save per-point predictions using the following command from the official repository:
python patchalign3d/inference/infer.py \
--ckpt /path/to/stage2_last.pt \
--input /path/to/shape.npz \
--labels "seat,back,leg,arm"
