OmniCAD benchmarks models’ ability to identify industrial CAD assembly components, place them in six-degree-of-freedom poses, and recover mate graphs. It contains 25,000 assemblies with CAD annotations and rendered views. Across nine models, average exact inventory reconstruction is 95.1% without repeated parts and 26.4% when parts are reused, showing a hard evaluation task, not proven buildability.

Key insights

  • Current state-of-the-art VLMs show limited proficiency in precise 6-DoF pose estimation and achieving physically valid, collision-free assemblies in industrial contexts.
  • Identifying and correctly placing repeated component instances within an assembly is a significantly harder task for VLMs compared to non-repeated parts, indicating a challenge in multi-instance reasoning.
  • While iterative visual feedback and geometric conflict reports provide some support for coarse error correction, fine-grained, collision-free alignment and accurate mate-graph recovery remain substantial challenges for current models.
