- Bespoke training dataset BlendNet
- Comprehensive evaluation suite CADBench
- Iterative self-improvement methodology for CAD script generation
- Minimal instruction-based fine-tuning approach
Methodology
The authors develop BlenderLLM, a framework that trains LLMs for CAD using a self-improvement loop. They create a custom dataset BlendNet and an evaluation benchmark CADBench, then apply minimal instruction-based fine-tuning followed by iterative self-improvement to enhance CAD script generation.
Key Results
Existing models show significant limitations in generating accurate CAD scripts, while BlenderLLM, after minimal fine-tuning and self-improvement, significantly surpasses them in both functionality and accuracy.
