The Largest CAD Dataset Released With 15M Designs

In an attempt to automate industrial designing, researchers from Princeton University and Columbia University introduced a large dataset of 15 million two-dimensional real-world computer-aided designs -- SketchGraphs. Along with that to facilitate research in ML-aided design, they also launched an open-source data processing pipeline. Introduced during the International Conference on Machine Learning, SketchGraphs is aimed to train the artificial intelligence machine with this large dataset, in order to expertise it to assist humans in creating CAD models. In a recent paper, researchers revealed that each of the CAD sketches is represented with a geometric constraint graph and the understanding of the line and shape sequence in which the design was initially created. This will enable the predictions of what is going to be designed next.
