3-ax-machinable manifold block

sha256:ab02f10c8e51dd23

§1Prompt verbatim

Solid 80 × 60 × 40 mm aluminium block. Three Ø 6 H7 bores from the top, two Ø 4 H7 bores from each side, all intersecting an internal Ø 8 manifold channel running along the long axis. The geometry must be fully machinable on a 3-axis VMC with Ø 6 → Ø 4 → Ø 1 tools, plus a 90° drill-rotation between sides.

§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.
