5-axis-only fish-mouth saddle

sha256:a32ef0bcde011fa0

§1Prompt verbatim

Bracket meant to wrap a Ø 60 mm pipe at 35° from vertical: a saddle cut profile that is the swept silhouette of a Ø 60 mm cylinder along the pipe axis, depth 25 mm. Geometry should be flagged as 'requires 5-axis indexing' by the analyzer (3-axis cannot reach the underside).

§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.
