Heat-sink for 60 W CoB LED

sha256:fab02ec01dd30a11

§1Prompt verbatim

Design a passive heat sink in 6063-T5 aluminium that holds a 60 W CoB LED below 85 °C junction temperature in still air at 30 °C ambient. LED footprint Ø 22 mm, mounting requires three M3 holes on a 28 mm PCD. Footprint envelope ≤ 80 × 80 mm, height ≤ 50 mm. Output STEP.

Functional intent task — scoring is FEA/CFD-gated, not geometric. A part with vol_iou ≈ 1 to the reference can still fail if the surface area is < 0.04 m².

§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.
