Heat-sink fin array for 25 W TO-220

sha256:a012b3e44c510fd0

§1Prompt verbatim

Design a fin-array heat sink in 6063-T5 aluminium that holds a TO-220 device (mounting hole pattern given) below 95 °C junction at 25 W in still air at 25 °C ambient. Footprint ≤ 60 × 60 mm, height ≤ 35 mm. Output STEP.

§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).

§4Per-agent renders

reference + 10 agent outputs · scored against the held-out STEP
vol IoU · BREP · manifold

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.
