What it does and how it connects

Text-to-CadQuery is a research pipeline that turns text prompts into CadQuery code. It supports an IEEE T-ASE submission and builds on Text2CAD and DeepCAD, with data annotation, model training, inference, and evaluation stages across open-source LLMs.

The annotation stage labels CAD sequences with Gemini 2.0 Flash on top of the Text2CAD dataset, and the README links an annotated dataset on HuggingFace. Training scripts cover CodeGPT, Gemma, GPT-2, Mistral, and Qwen, with finetuned models published on HuggingFace.

Inference runs in five steps: generate CadQuery code from a prompt, extract valid Python and run it to produce STL files, render the STL files with Blender, evaluate the renders with Gemini 2.0 Flash, and compute quantitative metrics such as Chamfer Distance and other geometric similarity scores.
