AS568-218 piston-type radial groove
sha256:ae0bf01dc20a91ee…
§1Prompt verbatim
Piston-side radial groove for an AS568-218 O-ring (Ø 1.484 in × 0.139 in cross-section). Sealed pressure 21 MPa hydraulic, dynamic. Apply 12-17 % squeeze, 60-85 % groove fill. Output the piston with the groove cut into its OD.

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.
