Presentation Abstract
Boundary representation (B-rep) 3D models are the standard 3D representation used in the manufacturing industry. However, only recently has machine learning research begun to make progress on generative models capable of producing B-rep models. This talk will give a summary of the current state of the art for generating B-rep models. In particular it will cover, BrepGen, our recent work using diffusion models, that have proved extremely successful in the image domain, to the problem of B-rep generation.
