Mates2Motion: Learning How Mechanical CAD Assemblies Work

2 Aug 2022  ·  James Noeckel, Benjamin T. Jones, Karl Willis, Brian Curless, Adriana Schulz ·

We describe our work on inferring the degrees of freedom between mated parts in mechanical assemblies using deep learning on CAD representations. We train our model using a large dataset of real-world mechanical assemblies consisting of CAD parts and mates joining them together. We present methods for re-defining these mates to make them better reflect the motion of the assembly, as well as narrowing down the possible axes of motion. We also conduct a user study to create a motion-annotated test set with more reliable labels.
