This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Information and Intelligent Systems (CFDA #47.070 Computer and Information Science and Engineering) supports research to explore automatically converting freehand design drawings into parametric CAD models. The $599,999 award to Brown University will develop a system to translate from the visual language of drawing to the formal language of computer-aided design (CAD) software. This technology aims to increase the productivity of professional CAD designers and make CAD modeling more accessible to non-experts. The project will leverage machine learning approaches, including novel deep neural networks, to extract drawing operations as an intermediate representation and generate corresponding CAD programs. No sub-awards are planned for this 3-year project, which runs from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2026.
