Open AI GPT-6 Astra Can Reconstruct CAD Geometry From Photos, Why That Matters for Additive Manufacturing

OpenAI has released GPT-6 Astra, and among the benchmarks in a broad capability launch covering coding, cybersecurity, and computer use is one aimed squarely at 3D geometry: BenchCAD, which tests whether the model can reconstruct a 3D object as editable CAD code rather than a static mesh, working only from a handful of photos.  While…
