Heat-set insert boss array (4× M3)

sha256:10ae9f0bcd220e31…

§1Prompt verbatim

Plate 60 × 60 × 8 mm with four heat-set-insert bosses on a 40 × 40 mm square pitch. Each boss: outer Ø 6.5 mm, inner Ø 4.5 mm × 6 mm deep, 0.5 × 30° lead-in chamfer at the top. Conform to McMaster 94459A205 insert spec.

§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.
