Score: 7.7/10 (Innovation: 8, Technical: 8, Documentation: 8, Utility: 7)

CADBench is a research-grade benchmark for evaluating AI CAD agents on mechanical part design, with a 343-task suite and multi-layer scoring (geometry, engineering, manufacturability, cognition). It systematically reveals that current AI tools fail on basic mechanical parts compared to human engineers, making it a valuable resource for advancing AI in engineering design.

Target audience: ai researchers, mechanical engineers, ml engineers
