Researchers have developed a new framework for automatically generating assembly instructions from CAD models using large language models. This system translates STEP assemblies into a ProductGraph, determines a precedence order, and generates natural-language instructions conditioned on the graph's context. It also incorporates visual documentation and rule-based checks, with PDF export disabled until a human reviewer clears all quality flags. A case study demonstrated the framework's feasibility on a six-part assembly, successfully preserving the assembly order and incorporating details like quantity, material, and torque into the manual.
