arXiv:2512.11199v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Computer-aided design (CAD) defines 3D models as compact, precise, and editable representations, making it directly useful for several fields. Recently, CAD generation has been gaining more attention in both the research community and industry. Crafting CAD models has long been a painstaking and time-intensive task, demanding both precision and expertise from designers. Prior works have achieved early success in single-part CAD generation, which is not well-suited for real-world applications, as multiple parts need to be assembled under semantic constraints and geometric compatibility. In this paper, we propose CADKnitter, a compositional CAD generation framework with geometric-guiding cues to steer diffusion sampling. CADKnitter is able to generate a complementary CAD part that follows both the geometric constraints of the given CAD model and the semantic constraints of the desired design text prompt. We also curate a dataset, so-called KnitCAD, containing over 310,000 samples of CAD models, along with textual prompts and assembly metadata that provide semantic and geometric constraints. Intensive experiments demonstrate that our proposed method outperforms other state-of-the-art baselines by a clear margin. Our project page is available at https://cadknitter.github.io/.
