The new AI model employs a dataset known as VideoCAD, consisting of over 41,000 examples that illustrate the step-by-step process of designing objects in CAD software. By learning from these examples, it can replicate human-like interaction with CAD tools, performing actions such as clicking and dragging to produce 3D designs from sketches. This AI-driven ‘CAD co-pilot’ could significantly lower the barrier to design and allow those without advanced skills to engage in 3D modeling more easily.
Developed by a team from MIT’s Mechanical Engineering Department, the AI model is specifically designed to undertake the complex tasks commonly faced when using CAD products. By translating high-level design commands into specific user-interface actions, it effectively operates the software on behalf of the user. The ultimate goal is to automate tedious processes while providing valuable support for novice users, thus facilitating a smoother learning curve and boosting creativity in design.
