Can LLMs automate collaborative CAD design?
FROM IDEA TO CAD: A LANGUAGE MODEL-DRIVEN MULTI-AGENT SYSTEM FOR COLLABORATIVE DESIGN
This paper introduces a language model-driven multi-agent system (MAS) for collaborative computer-aided design (CAD). The MAS automates CAD model creation from sketches and text descriptions, mimicking a human engineering team with specialized agents for requirements engineering, CAD design, and quality assurance. Key points for LLM-based multi-agent systems include: specialized agent roles, iterative feedback loops for refinement and validation with both AI and human input, use of visual feedback to address LLM limitations in spatial reasoning, and integration with external tools and documentation (e.g., CadQuery). The system demonstrates improved design quality compared to directly prompting a single LLM, highlighting the potential of multi-agent architectures in CAD applications.
