ConCAD: Constraint-Aware Image-to-CAD Generation with Dual-Granularity Rewards
Not on the map. Why?
Abstract (arXiv)
Image-to-CAD generation seeks executable parametric programs that recover both the geometry and design intent of a reference object. Existing systems are commonly evaluated by validity and shape overlap, although two solids with similar volume can encode different CAD relations. We introduce ConCAD, a constraint-aware image-to-CAD framework optimized via Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) with rewards at two complementary granularities: a code-level constraint reward and an execution-level geometric reward. This complementary design disambiguates structurally distinct yet volumetrically similar shapes while ensuring valid 3D geometry. To verify that these rewards recover geometry and design intent, we introduce a B-rep geometric constraint satisfaction rate (G-CSR), which analytically extracts and evaluates geometric constraints from boundary representations. Experiments on the DeepCAD and Zero2CAD demonstrate that ConCAD achieves the best IoU and Chamfer Distance over competitive baselines, while also outperforming them on G-CSR, validating its superior recovery of both geometric fidelity and parametric design intent.
