HSE researchers have developed CAD2TechSpec, an AI framework that converts 3D mechanical part models into precise CNC machining plans using retrieval-augmented generation and multi-angle rendering. By automating the creation of process plans for complex components like turbine blades, this system addresses a major bottleneck in high-precision industries such as aerospace manufacturing. While current evaluations show high accuracy, the approach relies on expanding training datasets to further improve reliability for critical production environments.
HSE researchers build AI that understands 3D part geometry

HSE researchers built CAD2TechSpec, a framework where AI interprets 3D part geometry to generate machining plans for CNC machines.
Researchers at the HSE FCS AI and Digital Science Institute have created CAD2TechSpec, a framework that translates 3D models of mechanical parts into detailed machining process plans for computer-controlled machine tools. The system addresses a significant bottleneck in industries like aircraft manufacturing, where engineers currently spend considerable time manually developing these…
