5-pocket plate, Ø3 endmill finish

sha256:9c0fa1ee08b4c172…

§1Prompt verbatim

Aluminium plate 100 × 60 × 12 mm with five rectangular pockets (20×20×6 mm deep) on a 2×3 grid (one corner cell empty), inside corners R 1.6 mm. The geometry must produce a collision-free 3-axis G-code program at 0.05 mm finish stepover with a Ø 3 mm endmill.

§3Reference render

canonical reference · drag to orbit, scroll to zoom

Visualisation is rebuilt in-browser from the canonical parametric description. Scoring is performed against the held-out reference STEP file (sha-256 fingerprint above).

Each tile is rebuilt from the canonical parametric description and degraded to match the agent's scored profile (tessellation, non-manifold face removal, dimension scale jitter, missing features). Image-only diffusion models render visually plausible meshes but score in the single digits on BREP fidelity — the geometry is not a manifold solid even when the render reads clean.
