Benchmark Almanac

FrontierCAD

Not in model cards

Agents build 39 machined parts from engineering drawings and place parts into 16 assemblies, in their own coding harnesses. A verifier that tolerates rotation and checks hole positions scores the geometry.

A part passes at a score of 0.97, and no model passed any part in the first report. It scores geometry only, while CAD Arena also scores editability. Seven models in the first report.
