CANTO: CAD-Native Transformer Operators for AI-Aided Engineering
Leibovici, Kossaifi, Kovachki, … Ashton, Kautz · arXiv 2026 · Transformers
What it does
Tokenizes native NURBS CAD patches and predicts continuous surface and volume fields at any query point.
Why it matters
Removes meshing and sampling from the loop, and gives CAD-parameter gradients for design optimisation, verified with CFD.
