CADFS Dataset

CADFS: A Big CAD Program Dataset and Framework for Computer-Aided Design with Large Language Models

🚀 Project Page 📃 Paper 💻 Code 🤗 Model

A large-scale dataset for parametric CAD model generation from text descriptions and multi-view images. Models are represented as FeatureScript programs, enabling direct import into Onshape environment.

This dataset was used to train and evaluate CADFS, a fine-tuned Qwen2-VL-2B multimodal language model for text-to-CAD and image-to-CAD generation.

Data Description

Each archive follows the ABC dataset structure: files are organized as {modality}/{chunk_id}/{model_id}.{ext}.

dataset/ — Processed Data

File	Description
featurescript_fp.zip	Full-precision processed FeatureScript programs.
featurescript_rp.zip	Used in training and evaluation. Reduced-precision variant with floating-point values rounded to 2 decimal places. Produces a more compact token representation suitable for language model training. Note that rounding may break compilability for some models, while others are only compilable in reduced precision.
text_annotations.zip	Natural language annotations describing the geometry, topology, and design intent of each model, obtained with GPT-OSS-120b.
step.zip	STEP files with B-rep geometry. Rendered from featurescript_fp.zip where possible, or featurescript_rp.zip otherwise.

raw/ — Raw Source Data

Source data used to create the processed FeatureScript representation.

File	Description
featurescript_raw.zip	Unprocessed FeatureScript programs.
sketch_raw.zip	Sketch metadata extracted from FeatureScript feature trees.
step_abc.zip	STEP files extracted from the ABC dataset, used in both training and evaluation.
stl_abc.zip	STL files converted from step_abc.zip, used in both training and evaluation.
multiview_images_abc.zip	Multi-view images rendered from step_abc.zip, used in both training and evaluation.

test_data/ — Evaluation Benchmarks

Minimal data required to perform evaluation, without the need to download the full dataset. A .json metadata file and a .zip archive are provided for each benchmark:

Benchmark	Contents
CADFS	jsonl, fs, annotations, images, step, stl
DeepCAD	jsonl, fs, annotations, images, step, stl
CADParser	jsonl, images, step, stl

train_data/ — Training Splits

Training data is split into two stages following the CADFS two-stage fine-tuning strategy, and two input modalities each. We filtered out duplicates and kept only samples whose input and output fit within a context size of 8192 tokens.

File	Stage	Modality	Description
stage1_txt_train.jsonl	Stage 1	Text	Pre-training on text-to-FeatureScript generation
stage1_img_train.jsonl	Stage 1	Image	Pre-training on image-to-FeatureScript generation
stage2_txt_train.jsonl	Stage 2	Text	Fine-tuning with high-quality curated text pairs
stage2_img_train.jsonl	Stage 2	Image	Fine-tuning with high-quality curated image-program pairs

For training and evaluation we use .jsonl data format. Each .jsonl line follows the format:

Image input:

{
  "messages": [
    {
      "role": "system",
      "content": "You are CAD code generation model."
    },
    {
      "role": "user",
      "content": "<image>Generate a CAD model using FeatureScript framework..."
    },
    {
      "role": "assistant",
      "content": "FeatureScript 1511;\n..."
    }
  ],
  "images": ["path/to/0085/00858269.png"],
  "cad_file_id": "00858269"
}

Text input:

{
  "messages": [
    {
      "role": "system",
      "content": "You are CAD code generation model."
    },
    {
      "role": "user",
      "content": "Step 1 - Sketch\nCreate a new sketch on the default top plane..."
    },
    {
      "role": "assistant",
      "content": "FeatureScript 1511;\n..."
    }
  ],
  "cad_file_id": "00858269"
}
