AI-Powered CAD Reconstruction
Yes. Paramesh AI uses a 6-stage pipeline (not a neural network) to reconstruct parametric CAD models from mesh files. An optional AI layer (Claude CLI) optimizes the construction order and suggests clean engineering dimensions. The core pipeline is deterministic — AI enhances but doesn't replace the geometric algorithms.
How AI is used
Paramesh AI's core pipeline is algorithmic — RANSAC surface fitting, region growing segmentation, graph-based topology analysis. The "AI" components are:
- Build order optimizer — Claude analyzes the feature list and suggests optimal construction sequence for CadQuery
- Dimension planner — after upload, AI analyzes mesh dimensions and suggests clean engineering values (round numbers, standard drill sizes)
- AI chatbot — in the web viewer, ask questions about the model or request feature edits
Why not pure neural network?
Neural approaches to mesh-to-CAD (like Point2Sequence or DeepCAD) require training data and struggle with out-of-distribution parts. Paramesh AI's algorithmic approach works on any prismatic part without training — it reasons about geometry directly.
