dc.description.abstractIn this study, we develop an efficient approach for sampling and extracting data from Computer-Aided Design And Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) files using an open-source YAML format. Our project is driven by the challenges encountered while performing file conversions between multiple CAD software and the complex data organization within CAD file structures, including proprietary, Model-Based Definition (MBD), and non-MBD CAD files. By employing the YAML format for CAD files, our approach eliminates the need for third-party software for file conversions, reduces compatibility issues, and improves the efficiency of CAD data management and processing. To achieve this, we implement a methodology involving preprocessing, feature extraction, and computing winding numbers from the YAML-formatted CAD files. The proposed method serves as a foundation for a future project that will convert approximately one million CAD models into the YAML format and leverage the extracted data for various purposes, such as model learning and data analysis. The findings of this study contribute to a deeper understanding of CAD data processing techniques and provide a foundation for further research and development. Our work addresses the current limitations of CAD systems, including the restrictions of conventional neutral 3D CAD file formats. It paves the way for more effective and streamlined workflows in industries that rely heavily on CAD technology.en_US
