🏟️ CAD Arena - The Battle of CAD AI

Welcome to CAD Arena! The premier battleground where CAD AI models compete head-to-head for engineering supremacy.

🎯 What is CAD Arena?

CAD Arena is the first comprehensive evaluation platform for CAD AI models, inspired by LMArena and 3D Arena but specifically designed for engineering and manufacturing applications.

⚔️ How It Works

1. Enter a CAD prompt (e.g., "Design a mounting bracket")
2. Two random models battle - Generate CAD models side-by-side
3. Vote for the winner - Which model better satisfies the engineering requirements?
4. ELO rankings update - Track which models perform best over time

🔬 Current Models

Real AI Models:

• GenCAD-3D 🔬: MIT's diffusion model for parametric CAD programs

Benchmark Models:

• CAD-Diffusion 🎭: Simulated high-quality geometry generation
• ParametricAI 🎭: Mock constraint-aware modeling
• NeuralCAD-Basic 🎭: Transformer-based generation
• STL2BREP-GNN 🎭: Graph neural network approach
• TopoNet 🎭: Topology-preserving generation

📊 Evaluation Criteria

• Engineering Realism: Does it look like a real CAD model?
• Manufacturing Feasibility: Can this actually be manufactured?
• Parametric Capability: Does it generate editable CAD code?
• Constraint Satisfaction: Does it meet the prompt requirements?
• Quality & Efficiency: Speed, geometry quality, and reliability

🚀 Coming Soon

• Spectral Labs SGS-1: Image/mesh to parametric STEP files
• PhysicsX LGM-Aero: Physics-aware geometry generation
• Custom Model Submissions: Community-contributed models
• STEP File Export: Download winning CAD models
• Advanced Analytics: Detailed performance metrics

💡 Why CAD Arena Matters

Traditional 3D generation focuses on visual appeal, but CAD models need to be:

• Manufacturable with real constraints
• Parametrically editable
• Structurally sound
• Dimensionally accurate

CAD Arena evaluates what matters for real engineering applications.
