Usage
The prompt should contain one complete Rect2Sheet rectangle JSON object. Explicitly request only the solution JSON so
the response can be parsed directly.
import json
import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
model_id = "atsmt/rect2sheet-qwen-7b"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
model_id,
torch_dtype="auto",
device_map="auto",
)
with open("001_rectangle.json", encoding="utf-8") as file:
rectangle = json.load(file)
messages = [
{
"role": "user",
"content": (
"Generate a Rect2Sheet sheet-metal solution for the following rectangle layout. "
"Return only valid solution JSON.\n\n"
+ json.dumps(rectangle)
),
}
]
prompt = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
messages,
tokenize=False,
add_generation_prompt=True,
)
inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
with torch.inference_mode():
output = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=4096, do_sample=False)
generated = output[0, inputs.input_ids.shape[1]:]
print(tokenizer.decode(generated, skip_special_tokens=True))
Example rectangle and solution files are available in the repository's
dataset_test_1/dataset_json
directory.

Quantized GGUF files are included in the model repository and can be run directly:

Intended Use
This model is intended for research into data-driven sheet-metal design generation and for producing candidate
Rect2Sheet solutions from inputs that follow the dataset schema. It may also be useful as a baseline for constrained
CAD generation and geometry-generation research.
Limitations
- Generated JSON may be malformed or may not conform to the Rect2Sheet schema.
- A syntactically valid output is not necessarily geometrically valid or manufacturable.
- The model does not replace collision, unfolding-overlap, thin-segment, or other engineering checks.
- Performance outside the tab counts, geometry, mount types, and topology represented in the training data is unknown.
- No benchmark results are currently reported for this release.
Validate every generated design with geometry and manufacturability tooling, such as the SheetGen pipeline, before
using it in downstream engineering or fabrication workflows.
Dataset
Rect2Sheet pairs rectangle layouts with sheet-metal solutions. Inputs describe tabs through corner points A, B,
and C, with optional mounts. Targets describe the fold sequence, bends with tab and point references, bend
direction, and the resulting tab geometry. The accepted solutions were filtered for manufacturability and manually
inspected. See the dataset repository for the schema, test subsets, and generation
details.
