§1Prompt verbatim
Planetary gear stack: module 1.5, sun 21T, planets 21T (×3), ring 63T, all 20° pressure angle, face width 8 mm, ISO 53 profile. Carrier plate Ø 110 × 4 mm. The full stack must mesh — no tooth interference, planet teeth align with sun and ring simultaneously. Output assembly STEP.

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.
