Flatten The Complex: Joint B-Rep Generation via Compositional $k$-Cell Particles
TLDR
A novel paradigm reformulates B-Reps into compositional k-cell particles for joint generation of topology and geometry using flow matching.
Reasoning
The paper introduces a clever representation that decouples the hierarchical nature of B-Reps, enabling unified generation and conditional tasks. However, the abstract lacks explicit mention of real-world benchmarks or datasets, and some claimed capabilities (e.g., non-manifold structures) are only briefly noted without evidence.

Innovations
- Reformulation of B-Reps as compositional k-cell particles with shared latents at interfaces to promote geometric coupling
- Unified set representation that decouples rigid hierarchy, enabling joint generation of topology and geometry with global context
- Multi-modal flow matching framework for unconditional and conditional generation (e.g., single-view, point cloud reconstruction)
- Extension to local in-painting and direct synthesis of non-manifold structures like wireframes
Methodology
The method encodes each topological entity (vertex, edge, face) as a composition of particles, where adjacent cells share identical latents at their interfaces. A multi-modal flow matching framework generates these particle sets, supporting unconditional generation and conditional tasks such as 3D reconstruction from single-view or point cloud. The explicit, localized representation naturally enables local in-painting and non-manifold synthesis.
Key Results
The method produces high-fidelity CAD models with superior validity and editability compared to state-of-the-art methods.
