sha256:1f3a5e90c44b2210…

§1Prompt verbatim

Right-angle L-bracket, leg lengths 60 mm and 40 mm, thickness 5 mm. Through-hole Ø 6.6 mm with 1.5 × 45° chamfer on the long leg, centred 30 mm from the bend. Slotted hole 8 × 16 mm on the short leg, centred 20 mm from the bend, slot major axis parallel to the bend. Position tolerance ±0.1 mm. Output STEP AP242.

§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.
