Researchers have developed Img2CADSeq, a novel pipeline for generating Computer-Aided Design (CAD) models from single images. The system encodes CAD sequences into a hierarchical codebook and uses a diffusion model conditioned on a point cloud intermediate to bridge the gap between 2D images and 3D CAD data. This approach, validated on new datasets, produces standard STEP files compatible with commercial CAD software and surpasses existing methods in quality. AI
