1. CADCodeVerify approach: a novel approach to iteratively verify and improve the design output of 3D objects generated from CAD code.
2. CADPrompt dataset: the first benchmark for CAD code generation, consisting of 200 natural language prompts paired with expert-annotated scripting code for 3D objects to benchmark progress.

We introduce CADCodeVerify, a novel approach to iteratively verify and improve 3D objects generated from CAD code. Our approach works by producing ameliorative feedback by prompting a Vision-Language Model (VLM) to generate and answer a set of validation questions to verify the generated object and prompt the VLM to correct deviations.

We introduce a new benchmark, CADPrompt, featuring 200 3D objects represented in the Standard Triangle Language (STL) format. Each sample includes:

1. The 3D object in STL format sourced from DeepCAD [1].
2. A language-based description of the 3D object.
3. The 3D object in OBJ format, detailing vertices, faces, and edges in standard 3D geometry.
4. A .json file containing the CAD commands and their parameters.
5. The Python code that generates the 3D object, written by a CAD design expert.

The table below provides statistics for the CADPrompt dataset, including vertex and face counts of ground truth 3D objects, the lengths of language descriptions, and the corresponding Python code. The dataset is divided into simple and complex categories.
